Heavy rains have hit southern China, triggering a level-two flood emergency that has disrupted hospitals, schools, and closed several tourist sites, Chinese state-run broadcaster CCTV reported on Tuesday.

More than 7,500 people were evacuated from low-lying areas, including Huiyang district, where roads were submerged.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong and the surrounding areas in the Pearl River Delta are also experiencing torrential rains.

Rain has been falling nonstop since July 31, with over 156 mm recorded in 24 hours in Huiyang alone. Flood barriers have been installed near bridges to stop river water from reaching urban zones.
