A house collapsed as a massive landslide hit southern China's Changde on July 7 due to days of heavy rain.

The dramatic video, provided by local media with permission, shows a residential house on a mountain collapsing, sending smoke into the air.

In another clip, mud and trees were seen sliding down the mountain slowly.

According to reports, four residential houses, one forklift, one excavator and one tramcar were buried by the landslide, but no casualties were reported.

Since the section of the road cannot return back to normal in a short time, local authorities arrived on site to make plans for vehicles to detour, while police and road maintenance officers watched over the site in turn 24 hours.
