"When driving, I suddenly felt the car shaking. At first I thought it had a tire blowout." Master Zhang, who found that the vehicle was driving abnormally, hurriedly got off the car to check the vehicle's condition and found no problems. I realized that there were gravels of large and small rolling down from the mountain in front and behind the vehicle - it was not that the car had a tire blown up, but that it was an earthquake.
Although the vibration is strong, Master Zhang is still calm, "I have experienced '5.12', what are you afraid of?"

"Because I have been reporting news about mudslides in TV recently, I thought there was mudslideslides in Jiuzhaigou. Later, as I was shaking, the hotel TV was dropped to the ground, and the cups in the room were also dropped to the ground. When I saw something was wrong, I realized that it should be an earthquake."

Mr. Wang, a tourist from Shenyang who planned to leave the scenic spot early in the morning of the 9th, also caught up with the earthquake on the evening of the 8th. He was "scared": "I am from the north and have never experienced an earthquake before. When the earthquake occurred, I was lying on the hotel bed to rest. I felt that I was completely confused when I was shaking. It took a few seconds before I could react and heard the alarm in the hotel. I didn’t take anything and ran out the door. "
Mr. Wang and everyone who stayed in the hotel stayed in the hotel were waiting in the hotel lobby. About half an hour later, the hotel staff told the guests that the hotel could withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake, and that it was far from the epicenter, so nothing happened.
"After they said this, everyone went back to the room to get things, and then went back to the hotel lobby to wait. "During the period, the hotel's supply of food, water and warm clothing continued, and the guests' emotions gradually stabilized. "Although there has been constant aftershocks, the overall feeling of the hotel makes people feel more at ease, and everyone is too tired. After three o'clock, basically the people in the hotel lobby went back to their rooms to wait for the rescue vehicles. "
