RECONSTRUCTION work began yesterday in quake-devastated Yushu County in northwestern China's Qinghai Province.
The magnitude-7.1 earthquake that hit on April 14 destroyed most of the structures in the county's Gyegu Town, the quake's epicenter.
Governor Luo Huining declared the start of the reconstruction program yesterday morning at a foundation-laying ceremony held for the new neighborhoods in Trangu and Ganda villages.
The two villages were almost completely razed.
New rural neighborhoods will be built on the debris of the two villages with planning, first-rate infrastructure and beauty, Luo said.
Living conditions in the villages will be improved from before the quake, Luo said.
Design of the new neighborhood will be in line with the principles of putting the people first, conserving the ecological system and respecting religion and ethnic culture, Luo added.
