Torrential rains triggered by Typhoon Maysak have pounded parts of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region over the past few days, causing severe flooding and prompting the urgent relocation of stranded residents.
In the coastal city of Qinzhou, the local fire department received a flurry of distress calls as floodwaters rose across low-lying neighborhoods. Rescue teams were quickly dispatched to the hardest-hit areas, working through rising waters to reach trapped households. By Sunday evening, authorities had successfully evacuated and transferred 211 people to safety.
Further west in Fangchenggang City, the typhoon sent rivers surging above warning levels. Police officers were deployed to flooded sections of road, coordinating an orderly evacuation of trapped residents.
Meanwhile, in the regional capital Nanning, persistent downpours on Sunday prompted the maritime safety administration to raise its emergency response to Level III. All 97 ferry crossings across the city were ordered to halt operations, while passenger vessels and rafts at seven water-based scenic spots were suspended as a precaution.
Typhoon Maysak, the 10th typhoon of the year, made a second landfall on Saturday night along the coast near the border between Guangxi and northern Vietnam, after first striking the island province of Hainan.
