An unusual video has emerged from China of a villager's house sinking into groundwater.

In the footage, filmed in a village in Southeast China late last month, the structure of the building can be seen sinking while furniture floats.

According to local reports, a possible cause of the subsidence is the over-pumping of groundwater.

The residents, a grandmother and her two grandchildren, escaped without injury after moving rooms before it fully collapsed.
