Strong Winds Disrupt Travel in Beijing

Beijing, the capital of China, is experiencing unusually strong winds, causing significant disruptions to travel. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled at the city's two main airports, and train services, including high-speed rail lines, have been suspended.

The wind gusts have reached speeds of up to 150 kilometers per hour, making it the strongest wind Beijing has seen in over 50 years. Authorities have urged the city's 22 million residents to stay indoors and avoid non-essential travel.

The powerful winds have also led to the closure of parks and tourist attractions. Nearly 300 trees have fallen in the capital, and some vehicles have been damaged. However, no injuries have been reported so far. The strong winds are expected to continue through the weekend, with conditions predicted to improve by Sunday.
