A Chinese man has been pulled to safety from raging flood waters in a breathtaking rescue involving a fire extinguisher and hose.

Dramatic footage shows a wide-eyed man in mortal danger, trapped by fast-moving and rising floodwaters in a Yangshuo County garage in in the south of China.

Heavy storms have pounded China in recent days causing 56 deaths and with dozens more missing, Associated Press reports.

The man appears doomed as he hides inside a small enclave while people above him dangle a makeshift rope comprised of an extinguisher attached to a fire hose.

With time running out, somehow the trapped man grabs onto to the ingenious contraption and manages to cling on as the group haul him to safety.

China's Ministry of Civil Affairs said water levels in rivers and lakes in Hunan have risen to very dangerous levels.

Levees are under threat, prompting mass evacuations in the southern province.

Elsewhere, travellers at many airports are facing chaos and delays after dozens of flights were cancelled in Chengdu, Changsha, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Emergency services are braced for worsening conditions and more loss of life, with more rain forecast for the rest of the week.
