Shenfang Chuanxindian Earthquake Site

Compared with Beichuan Earthquake Site, Yingxiu Earthquake Site, and Hanwang Town Earthquake Site, Shifang Chuanxindian Earthquake Site has unique advantages. The Chuanxindian earthquake site preserves the tragic original appearance of the Hongda Chemical Plant damaged by the earthquake. During the Wenchuan earthquake, Shifang City, which is located in the middle of the Longmen Mountains, suffered a disaster not seen in a century. Residential houses, factories, schools and tourist attractions in the mountainous areas were severely damaged. The once beautiful and prosperous Red and White Town has also suffered a heavy blow. The Red Street is gone, and the White Street is gone, leaving a ruin. In the factory area of the Chuanxindian production base of Sichuan Hongda Co., Ltd. Phosphorus Chemical Company, the core protection area of the site, the phosphorus ammonia drying tower with a height of more than 30 meters collapsed at the gate, becoming one of the iconic landscapes here; Office buildings, workshops and various facilities and equipment were damaged beyond recognition by the earthquake; all the buildings in the living area collapsed, and some 6-story buildings even had only 3 floors left; the clothes and debris that people dried before the earthquake could be seen on the balconies. There are schoolbags and inkwells used by many students, and in some corners there are still candles and ashes that survivors lit when they paid tribute to their deceased relatives... All these seem to silently tell visitors about the tragic and devastating earthquake. The catastrophic disaster brought to the people in the disaster area.
