Drainage system makes good use on Nanjing's ancient city wall
Usually rainstorms bring disasters. But for the ancient city of Nanjing, capital of East China's Jiangsu province, torrential rain also creates amazing scenery.
Torrential rains lashed Nanjing again Saturday, with major thoroughfares flooded. Raindrops went through the drainage system in the ancient city wall and were drained to the ground, forming a sight like a dragon spurting water.
