GUANGZHOU, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- The Zhapo national-level fishing harbor in south China's Guangdong Province on Wednesday saw an influx of fishing boats taking shelter from Typhoon Ma-on.
Typhoon Ma-on, the ninth typhoon of the year, made landfall with wind speeds of up to 118.8 km per hour around 10:30 a.m. Thursday on the coast of Maoming City, south China's Guangdong Province, the provincial meteorological station said.
