Residents in the coastal areas of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have been suffering the fury of the ongoing southwestern monsoon for days. According to Chinanews.com, over 1,300 tourists have been stranded on Weizhou Island as tourist cruises from Beihai City to Weizhou Island were suspended two days ago. One local resident said on Wednesday that the monsoon this year was much stronger than ever and the huge waves were at times higher than his house. [Photo/People.com.cn]
