On May 11, 2018, the reporter once again entered the epicenter of the "5?12" Wenchuan earthquake - Wenchuan Yingxiu Town Lianhuaxingou. The earthquake scars on the mountains gradually disappeared, and many places have been covered by green weeds and shrubs. The devastated mountains are fading out of people's sight. The picture shows the entrance of the lotus core groove in Yingxiu Town taken on May 11, 2018.
0 years ago, I walked along the Minjiang River and to the Niuquangou Gully. A waterfall flowed straight down, with a height of about 30 meters. "The gravel flow rushed down from the ravine above the waterfall. The ravine above the waterfall is the lotus core ditch, and the mouth of the ditch is facing the 'waist' of Niuquan ditch." said the guide. The picture shows people near the epicenter of the earthquake on May 30, 2008, and there are collapsed houses not far to the left. puzzle: The above picture is the entrance of the Niuquangou in Yingxiu Town taken in the air on May 11, 2018. The mountain has been covered with green. The following picture shows the post-disaster reconstruction of Yingxiu town, as well as the Niuquangou mudslide control project and new houses taken on April 30, 2012.
walks all the way and finds that the entire lotus core groove gravel is granite , white marble , etc. From a distance, the mountain has been covered with green vegetation. After the earthquake, many groups of geological experts once visited here, saying that these gravel streams were formed by ejecting from the ground when the earthquake occurred. The so-called odor is the smell of sulfide brought from the rocks from the ground. The picture shows the mudslide control point near Yingxiu Lianhuaxingou, taken on May 11, 2018.
Lianhuaxingou is the "episode" of the "5?12" Wenchuan earthquake and is also the central eruption point of the earthquake. Ten years have passed since the earthquake. As time goes by, Yingxiu Lotus Core Gully has gradually been forgotten, and Yingxiu has also become an earthquake ruins park and a science popularization education base. Niuquangou has also become a new tourist attraction through the comprehensive management of mudslide geological disasters. The picture shows the Minjiang River and the new village rebuilt after the earthquake on May 11, 2018.
The collapsed mountains after the earthquake on May 30, 2008 formed a small damming lake .
On May 30, 2008, geological investigators went to Niuquangou to check the situation.
