Streets have been turned into rivers as rainstorms lashed Yanjiao in Langfang city, in north China’s Hebei Province on Thursday.
Pictures taken by locals show that large parts of streets in the city, which is only about 30 kilometers (18.6 mils) from Beijing, have been inundated with water.
Heavy rain also hit Beijing on Thursday afternoon. The Chinese capital has been pelted with rain on at least 30 of the past 50 days.
