At 12:52 on September 5, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake occurred in Luding County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province (29.59 degrees north latitude and 102.08 degrees east longitude), with a depth of 16 kilometers.
The tremor was very strong this time, and even some cities far away in Henan had obvious shaking.
Local residents in Sichuan also received early warning messages on mobile phones, TVs and other devices, rushed out of the building as soon as possible and went to an open area to take refuge.
In addition to humans, another local resident, "giant panda", also staged a textbook-style escape demonstration. The camera of the Wolong Shenshuping Base of the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center captured the scene of the giant panda mother taking her cubs from the indoors to the open-air venue at the moment of the earthquake.
According to staff from the China Giant Panda Protection Research Center, the center Wolong Walnut Ping Base, Wolong Shenshu Ping Base and Dujiangyan Base all had a tremor feeling, and the Ya'an Base, which is closer to the epicenter, felt obvious.
Each base has carried out emergency investigations, and the personnel and giant pandas are currently safe.
