Snowstorms were set to hit parts of northern China from Monday to Tuesday, meteorological authorities said.

Snowstorms will drop up to 10 centimetres in parts of Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Heilongjiang and Xinjiang, according to the National Meteorological Center.

Officials renewed a blue alert for snowstorms in those regions, Xinhua News Agency reported.
