More than 100 tourists were evacuated from a tropical rainforest in the mountains of south China’s Hainan Province Monday afternoon, two days after they were stranded there by a rain-triggered landslide.
The landslide occurred at around 3:10 p.m. Saturday in the Diaoluo Mountain region in Lingshui County of Hainan Province, the spokesman said.
A forestry worker and a local farmer were missing after the landslide, while 125 tourists and 13 staff of the Diaoluo Mountain Forestry Bureau were stranded, according to the spokesman.
Heavy rains had pounded the mountain region since September 30, which triggered the landslide on Saturday, the spokesman said, adding that the landslide had buried a 100-meter-long road in the area.
