 On Thursday, Beijing experienced its most severe cold wave since the start of winter.

 Beijing's transport sector has implemented measures to ensure safe travel amid strong winds and low temperatures. Subway services switched to manual operation, while buses on mountainous and highway routes reduced their speeds.

 In southwest China's Guizhou Province, transportation authorities have implemented various measures to respond to potential snowfall or freezing rain.

 As of 7 a.m. on Friday, 13 sections of expressways and national, provincial roads across the province were temporarily closed due to icy conditions, and 12 toll stations were closed.

 The impact of the cold wave is expected to ease by the weekend.
