What are the top 3 worst Typhoons in history?

Depends. If by worst you mean "largest lost of life", then the most recent storm would be 1975's Super Typhoon Nina. Nina's rains caused a major dam burst in mainland China, releasing a 30-foot tall wall of water over many tens of miles. It is estimated 229,000 people were killed. A typhoon that hit China in 1780 is believed to have caused about 100,000 fatalities. The #1 storm, a typhoon that hit Vietnam in 1881, may have caused 300,000 fatalities, making it the deadliest typhoon in history. "Dishonorable" mentions go to 1997's Tropical Storm Linda, with 1300 fatalities in Vietnam, and 1991's Tropical Storm Thelma, which killed 5,000-8,000 in the Philippines. In these cases, the storms were weaker, but the rains were torrential.

What typhoon caused the most damage in China?

The most damages in china are caused by Hurricanes Typhoons and cyclone. There is a brief question about cyclone but I'm just going to do the introduction. What is a Cyclone? A cyclone is a heavy wind that spins around (northern hemisphere) and damages environment. In order for a Cyclone to happen the water needs to be at least 26 degrees. Above the warm ocean the clouds are formed, it pulls and begin to rotate (spins). It starts to spin, that's how cyclone continues.
