At Hefei airport in Anhui province, visibility was reduced to just 50 meters. Flights were postponed, stranding more than two thousand passengers.
In neighboring Jiangsu province, Nanjing airport faced the same situation. Almost all of the expressways across Jiangsu were closed because of dangerous conditions, and the weather department sounded an orange fog alarm to remind people to travel safely.
The thick fog has also affected traffic in other provinces including Jiangxi, Sichuan and Liaoning.
