<p>One person died and five went missing in the city of Shulan in Jilin province, which has seen five straight days of rainfall, according to state media.</p>
<p>More than 14,300 people were evacuated from the city of more than 700,000, according to the local disaster relief agency.</p>
<p>State news agency China News Service showed images of waterlogged streets around homes and factories.</p>
<p>The average precipitation in the city had reached 111.7mm (4.4in) by Friday afternoon.</p>
<p>China is struggling with record-breaking rainfall in some areas while others suffer scorching summer heat and drought that threatens crops.</p>
<p>The heavy rains – remnants of Typhoon Doksuri – have battered northern China since late July, disrupting the lives of millions.</p>
<p>Flooding near Beijing and in neighbouring Hebei province this week killed at least 22 people.</p>
<p>In north-eastern Heilongjiang province, which is known as China’s “great northern granary”, rain inundated farms and flooded streets, leading to the evacuation of thousands of people.</p>
<p>In the city of Shangzhi, heavy rainfall turned roads into rivers and inundated thousands of households.</p>
<p>National emergency management authorities said 25 rivers across Heilongjiang threatened to burst their banks, while disaster relief groups have been dispatched to the province.</p>
<p>In Heilongjiang’s capital Harbin, more than 53,000 people had to be evacuated as multiple reservoirs and rivers exceeded safety levels while some 41,600 hectares (103,000 acres) of crops were damaged.</p>

<p>In the city of Yushu in Jilin province, about 120 kilometres south of Harbin, flooding forced the evacuation of around 19,000 people.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, in Hebei province around Beijing, which saw some of the region’s worst flooding in the past few weeks, authorities issued fresh alerts for rainstorms on Saturday.</p>
<p>Floodwaters in Zhuozhou, south-west of Beijing, started to recede on Saturday, state media reported, allowing some of the 125,000 evacuated residents to return to their homes.</p>
<p>The death toll in the 11 million-strong city of Baoding reached 10 while another 18 people are still missing, local authorities said on Saturday.</p>
<p>Floods damaged roads and washed away bridges in the city’s Yesanpo Scenic Area, a national park known for its gorges and mountains.</p>
