Yingxiu Town is located in the south of Sichuan Wenchuan County. I have no chance to see the original Yingxiu Town, but it is reported that it is a small town with beautiful landscapes and spring seasons. I wonder if the name "Yingxiu" comes from this?
The famous Minjiang River passes around the city, making Yingxiu even more beautiful.

In the early morning, the quiet Yingxiu Town
Our five brothers came from Guizhou and stayed here for a night. It was July 25, 2014. When it was still extremely hot in Chengdu, it was cool and comfortable. We got up after 7 o'clock in the morning and walked in the small Yingxiu City. This is Yingxiu New City!

You can already see that the entire Yingxiu Town is surrounded by mountains. The Minjiang River flows gently from the edge of the new city, nourishing this land and raising the kind and hardworking Yingxiu people.
