Although the massive Wenchuan Earthquake caused tremendous damage, it has also brought new natural wonders - a large number of seismic frescoes that were formed on cliffs from Yingxiu to Luobuzhai by landslides during the earthquake.

These "seismic frescoes" mainly include human figures, animals, plants, as well as legends of ghosts and monsters. The majority of the frescoes depict various kinds of human figures.

Experts considered that the seismic frescoes are located along the road from Yingxiu to Luobuzhai, a route that tourists must pass before reaching world-class scenic spots including Jiuzhaigou, Wolong and the Siguniang (Four Girls) Mountains. If this area can be transformed into a sightseeing corridor of seismic frescoes, it is certain to attract large numbers of tourists and will bring considerable economic benefits to the people of the disaster-stricken areas.
