A massive sandstorm hit northwestern China's Qinghai province recently and trapped tourists for hours. Footages showed a sandstorm approaching fast, as if it was a moving wall of sand, and turning the sky yellow.

The sandstorm appeared in the Haixi region of Qinghai province last Wednesday, before it advanced to the east of the region with the help of the westerly wind. In Chaidan town, Haixi region, wind speeds reached 14.9 meters per second during the sandstorm while visibility was less than 200 metres.
