  • A tour of the Xuankou Middle School Ruin Memorial Site, in Wenchuan Countri in Sichua, China.
    The ruin serves as a tourist site, attached is a museum about the earthquake and more detail about how the earthquake affecting the town, but no photography allowed.
    Its a very beautiful mountainous area, but shows how vulberable the town was to landslides etc. and how remote it is. Since the earthequake, the town's infrastructure has been completely redeveloped.
    We hope you find our short walking tour of the memorial site interesting.
    From Wikipedia: An earthquake occurred in the province of Sichuan, China at 14:28:01 China Standard Time on May 12, 2008. Measuring at 8.0 Ms (7.9 Mw), the earthquake's epicenter was located 80 kilometres (50 mi) west-northwest of Chengdu, the provincial capital, with a focal depth of 19 km (12 mi). The earthquake ruptured the fault for over 240 km (150 mi), with surface displacements of several meters. The earthquake was also felt as far away as both Beijing and Shanghai-1,500 and 1,700 km (930 and 1,060 mi) away, respectively-where office buildings swayed with the tremor, as well as Bangkok, Thailand and Hanoi, Vietnam. Strong aftershocks, some exceeding 6 Ms, continued to hit the area up to several months after the main shock, causing further casualties and damage. The earthquake also caused the largest number of geohazards ever recorded, including about 200,000 landslides and more than 800 quake lakes distributed over an area of 110,000 km2 (42,000 sq mi). en.wikipedia.o...
    Over 69,000 people lost their lives in the quake, including 68,636 in Sichuan province. 374,176 were reported injured, with 18,222 listed as missing as of July 2008. The geohazards triggered by the earthquake are thought to be responsible for at least one third of the death toll. The earthquake left at least 4.8 million people homeless, though the number could be as high as 11 million.
