A heavy downpour lashed a township in east China's Zhejiang Province on Tuesday, triggering a flash flood that trapped over 500 tourists at a local scenic spot. The heavy rain started to batter Songmen Township at about 16:00, bringing up the water level of a river by about 50 centimeters within only two hours, with floodwater inundating several streets and rushing into roadside shops.
