More than 100 tourists were stranded on the Nanji island in Zhejiang Province, to the north of Fujian, as shipping services back to nearby coastal cities were suspended, frontier defense officers said.

The tourists, mostly from Shanghai and Hangzhou cities, have to wait in hotels until the wind weakened, officers said.

Parma downgraded from a strong typhoon at 11 pm Saturday when it arrived at seawaters off northern Luzon Island of the Philippines.
