More than 90 Singaporeans were trapped in a snowstorm for more than three hours on Sunday, after their bus got stuck in snow on Mount Wutai in China's Shanxi province. The tourists, many of them elderly, had to wait in temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees C. The situation was made more precarious by the fact that the buses were close to the edge of the mountain road, with visibility down to less than 10m. -- PHOTO: FACEBOOK
