Typhoon Utor, the 11th and strongest, typhoon this year made landfall in south China last Wednesday. The heavy downpours it has brought have triggered not only floods, but also landslides.
On Saturday, train services from Guangzhou Railway Station were suspended after landslides blocked a rail line linking Guangzhou and Beijing.
As an important rail hub in south China, more than 80,000 passengers have been affected.
SOUNDBITE (CHINESE) WANG WEI, Deputy head of Guangzhou Railway Station:
"We have initiated an emergency plan after we received the storm alert. We've transferred more staff and money to our station and all check-in counters have been turned into refund counters. All the staff have worked overtime to help passengers."
Parts of the rail service had resumed on Monday.
Chinese authorities have launched an emergency response to the rainstorms and floods in the southern Guangdong Province.
The National Disaster Reduction Commission and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has dispatched a working group to help with relief work.
