Four people have been killed in some of the worst flooding in Heilongjiang in decades.
The 4 have been killed after the car they were in was washed away in the Nen River, which is about 300-kilometers north of the provincial 1 capital, Harbin.
The local meteorological bureau is forecasting the river will see its worst flooding in some two decades in the coming days.
Over 2-thousand people living along the river have been moved out of harms-way.
Meanwhile, the water level on the Heilongjiang River in the border city of Heihe has reached over 97 meters in height, its highest level since 1985.
Immigration offices and control points along the China/Russia border have also been flooded and forced to close.
The only entry point in Heihe still open is for Russian freight 2 services.
However, it's been allowing temporary customs checks for travelers.
Yu Changguang is an official at the border checkpoint.
"We have swiftly adjusted our work schedules and deployed 3 more police forces. Everyday we have people on duty around the clock in order to promptly 4 understand the situation of water levels."
So far six entry points between Russia and China along the province have been closed.
The flooding has cut off more 300 roads across the province.
Forecasters are warning the Heilongjiang River, where the province derives 5 its name from, will see even more flooding in the coming 20 days.
