WUHAN/NANNING, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- Snow continued to affect parts of China on Saturday, causing cancellations to trains and flights, and the closure of many highways.

In central China's Hubei Province, sections of more than 30 highways were closed, or limited the number of passing vehicles, due to snow and ice.

The three railway stations in Wuhan, Hubei's provincial capital, canceled over 100 trains.
