"Challenges Mount for China's Lunar New Year Travel Amid Snow, Rain, and Fog"

Snow and freezing rain in China have caused hundreds of flight and train cancellations, disrupting travel as millions of people journey across the country ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. The bad weather, forecasted to last several more days, has led to warnings for snowstorms and blizzards in central and eastern China, with transport officials deploying thousands of employees to clear snow and defrost railways and roads. The disruptions come as China was expecting a return to normal levels of holiday travel, with increased flights and rail trips, following reduced travel during the pandemic.
