Title:VV5161 Lighthouse floats 20 kilometers after being washed away by torrential rain
Date:21st July 2026
Summary:On July 13, 2026, in Shenyang, Liaoning, the video captured the navigation light drifting along the Hun River after heavy rainfall caused the water level to rise dramatically. Footage showed the structure floating upright as the powerful current pushed it steadily downstream. Instead of remaining fixed in position to guide vessels, the beacon traveled along the swollen river like a giant message in a bottle. The unusual sight attracted attention as the navigation marker continued moving with the fast flowing water. It reportedly traveled approximately 20 kilometers from its original position after being dislodged by the flood. The video ended with the “Shenyang Lighthouse” continuing to float downstream as the rushing river carried it farther away.
