China is experiencing a wave of cold weather, bringing rare snowfall to Guangdong in the south, while northern regions face near-record low temperatures.
The unexpected chill has disrupted transportation, including a train brake failure in Beijing.
Despite earlier forecasts of a warmer winter due to El Nino, the current conditions have proven more severe, with temperatures dropping below zero in the north.
In Guangdong, snow blanketed a mountain near Guangzhou, with temperatures in the province dipping lower than usual.
Beijing's temperatures neared historic lows for December, and Shanghai saw snow flurries.
The cold snap is expected to continue until Thursday, affecting northern areas and regions around the Yangtze River.
The severe weather has also led to over 50 tourists being trapped in cable cars in Zhejiang province due to windy conditions, although all were safely rescued.
