- Heavy rains in late May triggered flooding and landslides across Yunnan province's Nujiang Lisu and Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures in southwestern China.

- State media confirmed repairs began on roads and power lines and noted that the Dulong River flood reached record levels while no casualties or missing persons have been reported.
- With more rain forecast, ongoing disruption to transportation and tourism in these mountainous tourist areas suggests prolonged recovery challenges.
