Officials in Hebei province, which borders Beijing, had opened flood gates and spillways in seven low-lying flood control zones to prevent rivers and reservoirs from overflowing in Beijing and the region’s other metropolis, Tianjin, state media said.
Heavy rains were triggered by the arrival of typhoon Doksuri in late July, which hit Beijing and the province of Hebei for about a week before moving northeast.
