Nine buildings and two bridges were washed away by the overflowing river waters due to heavy rain in southern China.

The video, shot in the city of Shangrao in Jiangxi Province on July 8, shows the buildings collapsing into a flooded river.

Due to the heavy rain, the water level of the river rose up to 23.7-metres-high, which exceeded the highest record in 1998 in history.

Nearby people have been evacuated and no one was injured.
