Iconic Shanghai skyline goes dark as drought hits power supply

An iconic skyline in the Chinese city of Shanghai, called The Bund, will not be lit for two nights to save power, officials say.

The waterfront area, known for its mix of historical and futuristic buildings is a popular tourist destination.

Elsewhere in China, major manufacturers in the Sichuan province had been hit by power cuts.

Large parts of the world's second largest economy face a severe drought amid a record-breaking heatwave.

In a notice on Sunday, the Shanghai Landscaping and City Appearance Administrative Bureau said buildings in the Bund, which are located along the city's largest river, will not be lit on Monday and Tuesday.

"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause," the notice stated.
