16 people have died and dozens are missing in floods in northwest China.
The floods occurred in a mountainous region of Datong County in Qinghai Province, affecting more than 6,200 people from six villages.
These floods come during a very hot summer in China, with many cities recording their highest temperatures.
According to the state broadcaster, the emergency headquarters has already been set up.
Massive floods in southern China in June displaced more than half a million people and caused about $250 million in damage.
