Liuzhou Earthquakes
A few people have asked me if Liuzhou was affected by the earthquake.
No.
Then, I was asked if there is any likelihood of an earthquake here.
Yes.
It's very unlikely, but not impossible. There was a force 5 earthquake in Liuzhou in 1935. The previous strongest earthquake was centred on Luzhai, a few kilometers away, was force 3.2 and happened in 1483.
At the weekend, I was walking through Liuzhou and passed one of the many demolition sites. It reminded me of the earthquake pictures we have all seen so many of in the media. What was particularly unsettling was that the area used to be full of cheap ‘fashion’ shops and, when they were evicted, they left behind their mannequins. It looked like some macabre recreation of an earthquake picture.
i have a weird feeling reading your blog. being born in luizhou but never
lived there and now i'm on the other side of the earth, learning about my
home town through your blog... thanks for the good job :D
Thanks for your comment, Linda.
I am glad I have found this blog, it gives me the chance to learn a bit
about Liuzhou, my fiancee is there and I will be coming to spend Chunjie
with them before I go to Beijing to study! I am glad to get a bit of a feel
for what Liuzhou is like! I was very worried when I heard about the
earthquke in Sichuan and was very relieved to find out that there is not
much risk of a big earthquake in Liuzhou!
