At least 90 people were killed and 77 are missing after some of the worst rainstorms in recent years triggered landslides and flash floods in south-west China, disaster relief officials said on Monday.
At least 66 were killed and 50 were missing in Sichuan province while 24 people died and 27 were missing in Chongqing municipality.
More than 450,000 people have been evacuated from the deadly storms, with 127,000 homes destroyed or damaged, 400 bridges collapsed and at least 720 kilometres of roads and thousands of hectares of farmland washed away.
Many of the dead and missing in Sichuan were from Dazhou city.
"It is the heaviest rain in years and there are 41 dead and 30 missing in Dazhou alone," a Sichuan disaster relief bureau official surnamed Liu told AFP.
The deaths had mainly been caused by landslides and mountain torrents, mud and rock flows, added deputy bureau director He Rongjun.
The cities of Nanchong and Bazhong have also been badly affected, although Dazhou, in the north-east of the province, was worst hit with 360 millimetres (14.4 inches) of rain since Thursday.
Xinhua news agency said downtown areas were "isolated" as the rains caused cave-ins on urban roads and destroyed highways out of the city, although Dazhou deputy mayor Zhang Zhike told AFP the situation was better Monday.
However, some 3,000 people remained trapped by floods, he said.
