Photos: Flood after heavy rain
Just got some photos from my parents. These were taken in Changping Road on the 20th April. Shantou was flooded within a few hours after a heavy rain. My dad complained about the drainage system and said it needs to be improved.
As summer is almost here, Shantou is going to enter a typhoon season. But scene like this is still rare.

yes, agree.these pictures made me think of many years ago when i was still in primary school…sigh~~~still like this…
grr. Does flooding like this not make someone want to improve it? During my last spring (07), we were flooded so many times - not like that, but still unacceptable in a modern city.
hello …who remember me ???
Great site, can see a lot of familiar scences here, heal my homesick.
Oh dear! I had a physics competition that day.When I got to school,I could only saw half of my classmates.
My people can’t even go home from their company after work, everywhere just in a mess, I think government should do a lot for this, such a situation is unacceptable
I was in Guangzhou at that time. My relatives and friends said that it rained strongly in Shantou during those days.
Hi, very nice stories, the city looks different to me now that I’ve red them:-) I was serfing the internet looking for the information about Shantou. In September me and my wife will come here to work in the city. I lived for almost 4 years in China (BJ) between 2004 and 2007. So I am looking for friends in Shantou now.
Could you also tell me if there is a university in Shantou, where foreigners can study Chinese on full-time basis?
