| On Aug 25, 1933 an earhquake measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale destroyed Diexi, a county situated by the side of Ming River, the longest branch of Yangtze River. The whole county collapsed and was buried in rocks. Later a huge lake came into being. These pictures were shot by Ernest Henry Wilson, a British explorer, in Aug, 1908. These pictures record an image of Diexi before the desaster. |
