The biggest storm this year has made landfall in China's Guangdong province, after killing at least 60 people in the Philippines and wreaking havoc in Hong Kong and Macau.
Many of the victims died in landslides, including a family of four. In addition to those killed in the Philippines, a woman was swept out to sea in Taiwan.
Packing winds of more than 200km/h, tropical cyclone Mangkhut is considered the strongest to hit the region this year, equivalent to a maximum Category 5 "intense hurricane" in the Atlantic.
The death toll in the Philippines is expected to rise. Five million Filipinos were in the path of the typhoon - with about half of those affected estimated to be children.
