Typhoon Kajiki, the 13th typhoon of the year, has weakened as it passed through south China. As the storm subsides, public transport services are steadily coming back online in Hainan Province and parts of Guangdong Province, easing travel and trade across the region.
On Monday at 6 p.m., authorities reopened Xinhai Port, Xiuying Port and the Haikou railway port, according to the Hainan maritime department. These strategic hubs will work through the night to clear a backlog of over 1,900 cargo trucks, aiming to restore supply chains within 10 hours.
In addition, Sanya Phoenix International Airport has adjusted its flight schedules and resumed regular operations. Travelers are advised to check their flight status and plan ahead as operations ramp up.
Meanwhile, the Zhanjiang maritime bureau in Guangdong reports that passenger and roll-on/roll-off ferries in the Qiongzhou Strait are back in service as of 6 p.m. Monday. Before the resumption, more than 5,000 trucks were queued at Haikou and Xuwen ports, highlighting the scale of regional logistics.
This swift recovery underscores the resilience of south China’s transport infrastructure and underlines the importance of a coordinated response to extreme weather. For travelers and logistics professionals, monitoring local updates is key to navigating disruptions in a world increasingly shaped by climate events.
