Chinese authorities have evacuated more than 200,000 people from its east coast as the region braces itself for its most powerful typhoon in years.

More than 7,000 fishing vessels have been called to harbour, with Typhoon Muifa's winds reaching 162km/h (100mph) and generating 36ft (11m) waves at sea.

At least 140 flights have been cancelled and rail services disrupted.

Muifa brushed past Shanghai on Sunday bringing high winds and heavy rain, but did not make its expected landfall.

Meteorologists, who earlier predicted Muifa would reach land in Zhejiang province or Shanghai at the weekend, said Muifa would probably make landfall near Qingdao city, in Shandong province, early on Monday.

On Sunday morning the storm was about 186 miles (300km) north-east of Shanghai, moving north-west over the East China Sea at about 15mph (23km/h), according to the Hong Kong Observatory.

China's National Marine Environmental Forecasting Centre has upgraded its warning to a red alert - the highest possible - for shipping in the East China sea.
