A landslide on Sunday that blocked part of the tracks between Guangzhou and Beijing has left 80,000 people stranded at Guangzhou Railway Station, causing tempers to flare.
Global Times is reporting that passengers are being asked not to go to the station, as no trains will be departing until further notice. If you’ve got a train journey planned in the next day or so, best to check in advance before heading down to the station.
The landslides have been caused by torrential rains which have been battering Guangdong in recent days, following Typhoon Utor which hit on Wednesday last week.
Shanghaiist has published several photos of the chaos at the station, from Southern Metropolis Daily. We’ve included a selection below.
