Photos: Insane flooding submerges cities across northern China (Watch video)

Torrential rains pounded much of southern China over the last month or so, resulting in severe flooding that left over 160 people dead, it appears that it is now the north’s turn.

Pictures of submerged streets in Henan, Hunan, Tianjin and even
Beijing have flooded. For instance, here
are some scenes from commuting in Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan
province:

It seems that not even the Great Wall of China itself could stand up to
this storm. A minor landslide occurred just below one section of the
wall near Tianjin.

Many tourist attractions in Hunan have been shut down and bus services delayed. This would seem to be a particularly bad time to visit Zhangjiajie — unless you have a raft:
Beijing issued an orange alert for heavy rain earlier yesterday, causing more than 50 flights to be canceled.
Meanwhile, many areas in north China are experiencing the strongest
rainfall of the year, with flooded streets and waterlogged pedestrians.
