A seaside restaurant deployed a fleet of ten massive trucks to brace itself against the impending Typhoon Saola in southern China.

The video was filmed in the city of Shanwei in Guangdong Province on August 31.

Lin, the owner of the restaurant, explained that they had temporarily ceased operations due to their proximity to the sea, which made them vulnerable to significant impacts. Drawing from past experiences with typhoons, they decided to rent ten large trucks to create a protective barrier around their premises, incurring a total cost of approximately 20,000 to 30,000 yuan (£2,000 to £3,000).

Meanwhile, the China Meteorological Administration continued to issue a red alert for Typhoon Saola on September 1 at 10:00 AM. This year's ninth typhoon, Saola, classified as a super typhoon, had its centre positioned approximately 215 kilometre northeast of Hong Kong over the northeastern South China Sea at 10:00 AM today.

It is expected to make landfall along the coastal areas of Guangdong, from Huidong to Taishan, during the night into tomorrow morning. There is also the possibility of a west-southwestward shift towards the central coastal areas of Guangdong. The region remains on high alert as they prepare to face the fury of Typhoon Saola.

8月31日，广东汕尾。一海边餐厅为了防御台风苏拉，用10来辆大货车围住店铺。餐厅老板林先生回应称，目前已经停业，因为店铺靠近海边，可能会受到较大影响。之前的台风登陆时已经有了经验，所以租了10辆大货车停在店铺周围挡风，总共花费了2、3万元。
