[1/2] A collapsed canopy is seen at a parking lot as Typhoon Haikui approaches, in Hualien, Taiwan September 3, 2023, in this screengrab taken from a video provided by CTI.
Haikui made landfall in the mountainous and sparsely populated far southeast of Taiwan on Sunday afternoon, the first typhoon to directly hit Taiwan in four years.
Counties and cities across southern, eastern and central Taiwan cancelled classes and declared a day off for workers on Monday.
Haikui is much weaker than Typhoon Saola, which hit Hong Kong and the southern Chinese province of Guangdong on Saturday.
As of Monday morning, Haikui had started to enter the Taiwan Strait and head towards China, Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau said.
