Most parts of China will experience a rapid drop in temperature, along with snow and rain in the coming days. A strong cold front is on the way and it is likely to disrupt travel for the upcoming Spring Festival, which falls on Feb 8. The National Meteorological Center said temperatures will drop sharply in northwestern, northern and northeastern China, with the mercury in some areas down by up to 14 degrees Celsius.
