Typhoon Lekima made landfall early on Saturday in the eastern province of Zhejiang with maximum winds of 187 kilometres per hour, although it had weakened from its earlier designation as a "super" typhoon, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
Thousands of flights were cancelled in eastern China, according to the country's aviation regulator, with most flights into and out of Shanghai's two major airports cancelled on Saturday afternoon, their websites showed.
