Meanwhile, a blizzard has caused some sections of the river to overflow, affecting hundreds of people who live nearby. Local authorities have relocated 325 people, while allocating coal, food and clothing to affected areas. Moving to Shangdong province, temperatures there have plummeted to as low as minus 14 degrees Celcius, the coldest so far this winter.
Local weather officials have issued traffic warnings, cautioning drivers about ice covered roads. Next, we turn to Hebei province, where most cities have been hit by strong winds, lowering temperatures by four to six degrees. Lastly, let's take a look at China's Bohai Sea.
According to the latest forecast from the State Oceanic Administration, about 27 percent of the Bohai sea surface is frozen. The situation is expected to worsen in the following days due to more cold weather ahead.
