TWO Japanese tourists died and one remained missing after being trapped in a snow-covered mountain in Hebei Province, local officials said late last night.
Two Japanese women, 62 and 68, were confirmed dead and a 76-year-old Japanese man was missing, Huailai County's publicity department said. Another Japanese tourist, 59, and a Chinese man who works for a Japanese tourist agency, were being treated at a clinic as roads were closed.
The four Japanese tourists and two Chinese tourists climbed a mountain from the Beijing side to tour a section of the Great Wall on Saturday morning. They were trapped in snowstorms after reaching a mountainous region in Huailai in the neighboring province of Hebei, officials said.
More than 150 people battled waist-deep snow to search for the tourists.
