The cold wave will sweep across the central and eastern regions, bringing drastic temperature drops of up to about 20 degrees Celsius, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) forecast.
There will be heavy snow in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, while freezing rain will hit Henan, Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou.
