The heaviest snow in decades is continuing to cause chaos across China ahead of the busy Lunar New Year holiday, state media report.
Road and rail links have been cut, thwarting tens of millions of travellers trying to return home.
Premier Wen Jiabao went to one of the worst-hit provinces and told would-be travellers the trains would run soon.
Reports so far say more than 50 people have been killed in the cold, 25 when a bus slid from an icy road in Guizhou.
The snowstorms, which began on 10 January, are the worst for half a century and have affected nearly 80 million people across 14 provinces.
