As Spring Festival draws near, the number of travellers has really started picking up. But according to the National Meteorological Bureau, a cold front is expected to bring heavy rain and snow to many parts of China.

Dense fog is also set to blanket parts of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Fujian and Yunnan provinces, with visibility of less than 1 kilometre, prompting the closure of several highway toll stations.

The bureau is advising travellers to keep a close watch on the weather forecast and take precautions when on the road. Snow is predicted to hit most areas in north China, while the south will experience light to moderate rain.

The snow is expected to ease off by Chinese New Year, but afterwards temperatures are set to fall below zero across central China.
