How about people’s life in Yushu 8 years after earthquake?
Karma Wensol’s new house after the earthquake.
For Karma Wensol’s daughter-in-law, Tseyomzang, the best part about the new Yushu is the convenient transportation and community construction. “It used to take me more than 20 minutes to get to the market to buy vegetables. Now there is a vegetable shop, grains shop, and clothing store at our doorstep. Its much more convenient to go shopping.”
While constructing the new Yushu, facilities that closely related to people’s lives were given top priority. After reconstruction, the public service facility for local people covers an area of 129.4 hectares, 3.4 times larger than it was before the earthquake.
In addition, the public transportation of the new Yushu covers 149.6 hectares, which is an increase of 88.7 percent compared with the 79.3 hectares before the earthquake. “Now, except roads in nomadic areas, the dirt roads in villages have all been replaced by asphalt roads,” said Karma Wensol.
