In neighboring Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, heavy snow has also affected road and air traffic.
Baita International Airport in the regional capital of Hohhot was closed at 9 am today, affecting at least 14 flights and 300 tourists.
A cold front has swept China's northern regions since yesterday, bringing snowfall and big temperature drops, according to the National Meteorological Center (NMC).
