Twenty mainland tourists remained missing while other 54 Chinese mainland tourists, who remained stranded in Taiwan last night after Typhoon Megi triggered landslides, were lifted out of dangerous areas by helicopters this morning, Taiwan tourism authorities said.
Among those out of contact are 19 mainland tourists from a tourist group from Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, and a tourist group leader from Beijing after their buses were hit by mud and rock at a section of the Suao-Hualien Highway on the island's east coast.
One local tour guide and one local driver were also out of contact, the local tourism authorities said.
People have been evacuated from the flood-hit areas in Ilan County, Taiwan, on Thursday as super Typhoon Megi arrived. More than 500 mainland tourists have been stranded in Taiwan by heavy rains brought by typhoon Megi since Thursday, with at least 19 of them out of contact.
