Monasteries will be rebuilt
CONSTRUCTION workers will this year finish rebuilding 62 Tibetan monasteries damaged in last year's 7.1-magnitude earthquake that leveled Yushu in northwestern China's Qinghai Province, a government official said yesterday.
Repairs to the main structures of 25 other monasteries will also be completed by the end of 2011, said Wang Yuhu, head of the prefecture government of Yushu.
The government has earmarked 1 billion yuan (US$153.8 million) for monastery restoration after the devastating earthquake that struck Yushu on April 14, 2010, killing nearly 2,700 people in the predominantly Tibetan region with a population of 350,000.
Eighty-seven monasteries were damaged, 10 of which were reduced to rubble.
Reconstruction of the worst-hit Trangu monastery started yesterday on a vast grassland, kilometers away from the original site of the 700-year-old famed monastery.
