      Train and flight services in Shanghai have been canceled amid the imminent landfall of Typhoon Bebinca, disrupting travel plans of numerous people during the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday running from Sunday to Tuesday.

      Typhoon Bebinca is expected to make landfall along the eastern coast from Taizhou, Zhejiang to Qidong, Jiangsu sometime from late Sunday to Monday morning, packing torrential rainfall, according to the Ministry of Emergency Management.

      On Sunday, the first day of the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, many passengers were forced to reschedule and move forward their travel plans in order to depart from Shanghai before the typhoon arrives.

      "We are coming from Australia. We came back to visit our family during the public holidays. And we knew that the typhoon is coming tomorrow so we rescheduled our train from Monday to Sunday so we can get back to my husband's hometown in Fujian safely," said a passenger waiting at the Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station.

      "[Typhoon Bebinca's expected] impacts on Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and the Yangtze River delta region led to the cancellation of my train. So I tried to get new tickets for tomorrow (Monday) for three times, but all three trains have been canceled. Eventually I decided to depart today (Sunday)," another passenger said.

      At Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, all flights operating after 20:00 local time Sunday have been canceled due to expected rainstorms and strong winds.

      Airlines and rail authorities have made emergency plans for all possible scenarios when Bebinca makes landfall.
