Rainfall causes flooding in central China's Hubei

Aerial photo taken on Oct. 6, 2017 shows the Yueliangwan Wetland Park submerged by water in Xiangyang, central China's Hubei Province. Recent rainfall has caused flooding of the Hanjiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, triggering an emergency response in central China's Hubei Province. The province started a Grade-IV response to the situation at 8 p.m. Thursday, which meant stepping up flood prevention work such as dam checks and public announcements. (Xinhua/Wang Hu)
