Typhoon Tapah made landfall over Taishan in southern China's Guangdong Province at 8:50 a.m. Beijing time, and it is expected to move away from Hong Kong gradually. Hong Kong's Observatory said the Typhoon 8 signal, its third-highest, would remain in place until at least 11 a.m. (0300 GMT). Businesses can reopen if the signal is lowered, but schools will be shut for the full day, the city's education bureau said.
