BEIJING, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- China's meteorological authority issued a yellow alert for snowstorms on Monday, with blizzards expected to hit parts of the country's northeast.

From 8 a.m. Monday to 8 a.m. Tuesday, snowstorms will lash parts of Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning, the National Meteorological Center said.

Parts of Liaoning will see 20-25 millimeters of snow during the period.(that's barely an inch of snow.)

The center has advised pedestrians and drivers to be extra careful during the snowy weather and urged local authorities to take precautions concerning roads, railways, electricity and telecommunications.

The center also renewed a yellow alert for a cold wave on Monday, as most parts of central and northern China will see temperatures plunge by 6-10 degrees Celsius over the next four days.

China has a four-tier, color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the most severe weather, followed by orange, yellow and blue.

Hunan province, a traditional hub for China's sericulture industry with a long history of mulberry cultivation and silkworm farming, is witnessing a revival through intelligent transformation. At an industrial park in the province, self-developed automated and digitalized production lines have enabled the stable mass production of silkworm cocoons. This integration of industrialized agriculture and intelligent manufacturing breathes new life into the ancient industry.
