The strongest typhoon to hit Shanghai since at least 1949 has flooded roads with water and broken tree branches, knocked out power to some homes and injured at least one person as it swept over the financial hub.
More than 414,000 people had been evacuated ahead of the powerful winds and torrential rain.
Schools were closed and people were advised to stay indoors.
One elderly man was injured by a falling tree on Shanghai’s Chongming Island, according to state media.
He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Typhoon Bebinca made landfall at around 7.30am local time in the sprawling Pudong business district with winds of 151kph (94mph) near its centre.
Torrential rains flooded roads in the district, according to images broadcast by state media.
Elsewhere in Shanghai, uprooted trees and fallen branches blanketed some roads and pavements.
As the typhoon eased, responders cleared branches and other objects blown around by the storm.
More than 60,000 emergency responders and firefighters were at hand to lend aid in Shanghai.
Authorities said winds uprooted or damaged more than 10,000 trees and knocked out power for at least 380 households, damaging four houses.
At least 53 hectares (132 acres) of farmland were flooded.
The typhoon weakened as it moved inland, dousing parts of Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces.
Flights, ferries and train services have been suspended in the megacity and in neighbouring provinces, disrupting travel during China’s three-day Mid-Autumn Festival.
Shanghai’s airports cancelled more than 1,400 flights, while in Hangzhou, about 170 kilometres (106 miles) southwest of Shanghai, authorities also cancelled more than 180 flights.
Flights at Shanghai’s airports resumed on Monday afternoon as the storm moved away.
Weather authorities expected Shanghai and parts of neighbouring provinces to receive up to 30 centimetres (12in) of rainfall between Monday and Wednesday.
Shanghai, which has 25 million people, is rarely hit by strong typhoons, which usually make landfall further south in China.
Typhoon Yagi hit China’s southern Hainan island earlier this month and has caused devastation in South East Asia.
In Myanmar, Yagi caused at least 74 deaths with dozens missing.
Four deaths were reported in Hainan, at least 10 people have died in Thailand and 20 in the Philippines.
Vietnam has reported more than 230 people killed in the typhoon and subsequent flooding and landslides, with dozens more still missing.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
