At least 38 people have been killed by days of heavy rain and flooding in and around Beijing, with the northeastern district of Miyun accounting for 28 deaths, Chinese state media reported Tuesday.
Two more fatalities were reported in the north-western district of Yanqing.
In neighboring Hebei province, at least four people died in a landslide in Luanping county. Others remain missing, local media reported.
More than 80,000 people have been evacuated from flood-hit areas, including some 17,000 from Miyun. Roads were submerged, vehicles swept away, and power infrastructure damaged across the region.
Water levels at a major reservoir in Miyun reached their highest point since its construction in 1959. Authorities began controlled discharges and warned residents of possible further flooding.
