The square in the center of the town is about 3 kilometers away from the Hailuogou Tunnel. The exit of the Hailuogou Tunnel is severely blocked. There have been many aftershocks before, and some roads have been interrupted. Fire rescue personnel climbed up the steep slope along the rope and entered the town center."

Collapsed houses

On the way to the center of Moxi Town, collapsed houses can be seen. Chen Weiqi told reporters that these collapsed houses are generally earthen houses or simple wooden houses. Other houses with reinforced concrete structures have little loss, and some glass and doors and windows are somewhat damaged.

The simple bridge was temporarily built

In the Hailuogou Scenic Area of ​​Qinggangping Village, Moxi Town, fire rescuers were using stretchers to transfer wounded people. When passing through a turbulent river, fire rescuers used local materials and built simple bridges with a few tree trunks, successfully transferring the affected people to a safe location.
