Rescuers in Nepal pulled a Chinese man and a woman alive from debris on Saturday.
This happened 10 days after heavy floods hit the country.
The man was found in a tunnel at the Trishuli hydropower project, said the prime minister’s office.
This brought the total to three workers saved from that site.
Two Nepalese workers were rescued there on Friday.
Nepal’s army said a team of Nepalese soldiers and South Korean disaster experts saved the man.
He was found in a 225-meter tunnel.
He was getting a health check after the rescue.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV named him as Lu Haitao.
It said he was in stable condition at a hospital.
CCTV shared audio of Lu saying he shouted when he saw rescue lights, but crews could not hear him.
He said he could not believe it when they shone a light on him during the rescue.
In flood-hit Nuwakot town, a woman was found alive in a house, said Nepal’s army spokesperson.
Officials said she was flown to Kathmandu for treatment.
Army images showed rescuers finding her covered in mud.
They gave her bottled water before pulling her to safety.
Rescue work has focused on 12 hydropower projects, authorities said.
About 900 workers are missing there, and about 500 are believed trapped in tunnels.
Special teams from India, China, South Korea and the United States are searching for survivors.
At least 1,300 people died in the Aug. 26 floods, likely caused by a glacier collapse.
More than 5,000 remain missing, said Nepal’s disaster management agency.
