Vast areas of Zhaoqing city in Guangdong province were submerged, with floodwaters inundating shopfronts and covering roads, footage from state broadcaster CCTV showed.
Other images showed rescuers wading through water while carrying stranded people on their backs.
The flooding affected much of Guangdong province and the neighbouring Guangxi region.
Typhoon Wutip, China’s first typhoon of the year, made landfall on the island province of Hainan last Friday, before moving to Guangdong on Saturday.
Even as its severity subsided, the storm has continued to bring heavy rain to southern China and Zhejiang province in the east, where authorities issued an emergency response notice for flooding risks.
Authorities in Vietnam said on Monday that seven people had died in the country after heavy rains and flooding caused by Wutip.
The country is the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter but also a renewable energy powerhouse, seeking to cut carbon dioxide emissions to net zero by 2060.
Torrential rains last August, triggered by Typhoon Gaemi, which moved from the Philippines and Taiwan to make landfall in eastern China, killed at least 30 people and left dozens missing.
