The recent quake measuring 8 on Richter scale damaged some historical relics in the Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces. Some of these I have had the chance to visit in the last few years with the recent Terracotta Warriors being in April 2008 itself.
I am glad that I had gotten the first hand glimpses of the relics but am also sad that these ancient relics were damaged. These are the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Dujianyan irrigation system, Er-Wang Temple and relics in the Terracotta Warrior Museum. Indeed after the quake, plenty of restoration work will certainly take place.
