Thousands of travelers are stranded at Guangzhou Railway Station in South China's Guangdong province after rare snow in central and eastern Chinese provinces delayed train services, Feb 1, 2016. About 100,000 travelers were forced to wait outside the station ahead of Spring Festival, the most important holiday of the year. The local police drafted in 1,300 more security personnel to the initial 2,600 officers, and appealed to the passengers not to spend long hours outside the station. [Photo/IC]
