Red is the highest warning, followed by orange, yellow and blue. The country also has a four-level emergency response system, with Level I being the highest.
Authorities have been closely monitoring Dolphin as it moves across eastern China.
The biggest concern is not only the strong winds from the storm but also the amount of rain it could bring.
Torrential rain can quickly cause flooding in cities and increase the danger of landslides in mountainous areas.

With Typhoon Dolphin China warnings now at their highest level, officials are focusing on keeping people safe and reducing possible damage from heavy rain and strong winds.
The situation remains fast-moving, with weather conditions expected to change as Dolphin continues inland.
