TIANJIN, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Taitou Town of Jinghai District in north China's Tianjin on Friday held the first rural fair after flood-affected villagers returned to their homes from temporary resettlement sites. Life here is gradually returning to normal.
From late July to early August, several areas in northern China, including Beijing and its neighboring Hebei Province and Tianjin Municipality, experienced rare rainfall and floods after Typhoon Doksuri moved inland, causing casualties and inflicting damage.
Post-disaster reconstruction is underway at an accelerated pace, with a focus on repairing damaged infrastructure such as transportation and communication as well as restoring farmland and agricultural facilities to ensure the gradual resumption of normal life for local residents.
