Relief supplies are being distributed in an orderly manner in the flood-hit Rongjiang County of southwest China's mountainous Guizhou Province.
Rongjiang County, known for Cun Chao -- a rural football league uniting over 100 village teams and captivating fans nationwide -- has set up 20 distribution points.
Up to more than 230 volunteers have been working at the county's largest distribution point each day to load relief supplies onto vehicles for transportation to the affected residents.
Seven unmanned aerial vehicles have joined the delivery efforts.
Machinery has been used to clear the mud on roads and streets starting early Sunday morning, after the Duliu River's water level dropped following the latest round of flood peak that passed through Rongjiang County at around 20:00 local time Saturday.
Disinfection is underway in Rongjiang with the assistance of drones.
Starting at 10:00 Sunday, the local flood control and drought relief headquarters has ended the highest-level emergency flood response which was announced on Saturday.
Since June 24, Rongjiang has been hit by severe flooding due to rainstorms.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said on Wednesday that Seoul firmly adheres to the one-China principle, in comments made ahead of his upcoming state visit to China.
The remarks were made in an interview with China Media Group (CMG). The visit is scheduled for Jan 4–7.
"The consensus reached between governments of the Republic of Korea and China when diplomatic relations were established continues to be the fundamental principle governing our relations, and its effectiveness remains steadfast. I want to clearly state that the ROK has always adhered to the one-China principle. Maintaining peace and stability in regional matters, including in Northeast Asia and concerning the Taiwan issue, holds significant importance to us," said Lee.
"The foundational relationship between the ROK and China was established on a very principled and fundamental basis from the beginning. It is clear that the ROK government has always adhered to this position and has never wavered from it. I believe that the sound development of ROK-China relations depends on both sides fully respecting each other's core interests and being mutually tolerant of each other's positions. In this context, we will, as always, uphold the one-China principle as the Taiwan issue is China's most fundamental concern," he said.
