In 2005, Typhoon Wang Long landed in the south of Taiwan Province Province, and the storm caused serious losses to Taiwan Province Province. Then it landed in Fujian again, causing heavy casualties, flooding in Fujian and heavy losses. The typhoon moved to Guangdong after landing, causing heavy rains and flash floods in many cities from eastern Guangdong to western Guangdong.
Therefore, the Typhoon Committee decided to remove the name "Dragon King" to avoid using another name that might cause public panic and misunderstanding.
