The flood directly caused all hydrological stations in Chongqing, such as Jialing River, to exceed the guaranteed water level. The flood also directly flooded many places in Chongqing, such as the waterfront park square in Chongqing, the pier in ciqikou ancient town, Chaotianmen Square and so on. Chongqing is a mountain city, and the rugged terrain is the symbolic feature of this city. When such a city faces a flood, many of its low-lying areas will be flooded.
Chongqing's bustling business district is also affected by floods, which have flooded binjiang road, and buildings on the first floor are usually flooded. Low-lying shops in Hongyadong are also completely submerged; Not to mention ciqikou ancient town, which is located on the Jialing River, as early as the flood, Ciqikou quickly fell; The road at the entrance of the ancient town was flooded, and the shops facing the street were also flooded, which caused great losses to people's property. According to official statistics, this round of floods caused 200,000 to 300,000 people in Chongqing to be affected, and more than 20,000 shops were flooded. Presumably, post-disaster reconstruction will also be a huge project.
What is worth mentioning is the optimism of Chongqing people. Many people go to Binjiang Road to see the river. It may be that Chongqing people grew up on the edge of the Yangtze River and seem to have a special love for the river. Even though the flood brought disaster to Chongqing, fortunately, there were no large-scale casualties. The official forecast of water level in advance makes people transfer a lot of important property in advance, and the loss is inevitable in the face of natural disasters. Only reducing casualties as much as possible is the best result. Homes can be rebuilt, and the flood will eventually pass, but relevant departments should make emergency preparations. After all, no one can predict when natural disasters will come.
