As super typhoon 'Haikui' approaches, Shenzhen, a major city in southern China, has announced that all primary and secondary schools and kindergartens across the city will be closed for the next two days, and Shenzhen airport will suspend flight operations starting at 8 p.m. tonight.
According to Xinhua News Agency, Shenzhen announced on Monday (September 22) that from Tuesday (23rd) to Wednesday (24th), all primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the city will be closed, and all off-campus educational training institutions must strictly implement the suspension order in accordance with the schools; Shenzhen Airport will suspend flight operations starting at 8 p.m. on Tuesday; trains in all directions across the Shenzhen area are scheduled to gradually suspend operations starting at 12 noon on Tuesday, with all services suspended from 6 p.m. until midnight.
