Typhoon Wipha swept across the Chinese mainland this week, unleashing torrential rains that have led to severe flooding in Fujian Province and urban hazards in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
In Xiapu County, Fujian, continuous downpours since Monday triggered multiple landslides. Falling rocks and persistent rain have stalled repair crews, forcing authorities to close the affected area until conditions improve.
Meanwhile, cities across the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are grappling with waterlogged streets and drainage overload, as the storm’s heavy showers strain urban infrastructure and cause widespread disruption.
With rainfall expected to continue, local officials are urging residents in high-risk zones to stay vigilant. Recovery efforts hinge on an easing of the storm, and communities remain on alert for further flooding and landslide threats.
