Typhoon Dolphin's remnants dumped more than a third of Beijing's average annual rainfall on August 12, 2026. The city closed 151 tourist attractions and 157 campsites, suspended 4,100+ rural homestays, halted 250 bus routes, and evacuated residents from high-risk areas under an orange rainstorm warning.

What Changed
Dolphin made two landfalls along the Zhejiang coast on August 9 and 10, then weakened into a tropical storm. Its leftover moisture kept pulling inland, and by August 12 the system was channeling tropical rain into Beijing, Henan, and Hubei.
Xinhua reported on August 12 that Beijing shut 151 tourist attractions and 157 camping sites and suspended operations at more than 4,100 rural homestays. Another 250 bus routes were halted and some train services were reduced. Authorities issued an orange rainstorm warning, the second-highest of China's four-tier alert system, and activated a Level Two flood-control response.
More than 1,300 tourists were evacuated or turned away from attractions, according to city emergency reports. Forecasters said the capital could receive more than one-third of its average annual rainfall within 24 hours.
What This Means for You
If you are in Beijing now or arriving in the next few days, treat outdoor attractions as unreliable. The Great Wall sections, parks, and mountain areas in the northern and western districts are the most likely to close on short notice. Check before you go, and build flexibility into any plan that depends on outdoor sites or intercity trains.
下一步
- Check attraction status before leaving your hotel. 2. Reconfirm rail and flight bookings via the 12306 app or your airline. 3. Move outdoor plans to indoor alternatives while warnings remain active. 4. Keep a charged power bank and download offline maps.
可能变化的部分
Which districts close sites changes hour to hour based on local rainfall. Train reductions are announced per line and some services resume the same day. The orange warning could be upgraded or downgraded depending on the storm track.
常见问题
Is Beijing safe to visit right now?
The flooding is serious but localized. Central Beijing is largely functioning; the biggest disruption is closed outdoor sites and transport slowdowns. Follow local warnings and avoid mountain areas.
Will the Great Wall be open this week?
Not guaranteed. Several sections closed on August 12, 2026. Check the specific section you plan to visit the morning of your trip.
Can I get a refund if my attraction or tour is cancelled?
Yes, in most cases. Book through official channels and keep confirmation emails. For closed state-run sites, refunds are usually automatic.
How long will the rain last?
Forecasts show the heaviest rain on August 12 to 13, easing after that. Residual flooding and landslides can affect mountain roads for several days.
