What travelers say:

In 1933, the 7.5 magnitude earthquake caused the peaks on the banks of the Lijiang River to fall more than 500 meters straight, and the heavy town of Silk Ling, more than 270 meters above the river, collapsed and disappeared in a white land. 21 Dongzhais were destroyed, and 6,865 people were killed. On the 45th day after the earthquake, the lake broke the dam, and the 20-foot high wild waves poured down, destroying the Dujiangyan water conservancy facilities, and killing more than 2,500 people. The earthquake left two large and small seas of relatively stable geological sheds and Baiwazhai, which is today's Diexi Haizi.
