On July 5, an unusual flood peak appeared on the Liu River that runs through the urban area of Liuzhou City. The water level exceeded the warning line by 7.14 meters and turned both sides of the river into a swamp. This formed a great contrast compared to the originally picturesque mountains and waters. Citizens rushed to the riverside to take photos as souvenirs, recording the unique scenery of the Liu River. (Photo by Cao Weijun)
