But the devastating earthquake that struck the area in May 2008 has turned the village into an unlikely tourist attraction. The earthquake killed 6,566 people in the village, over 40% of its population. Its five-storey middle school collapsed, killing 55 people. Nineteen students and two teachers remain buried in the rubble. Four years on, the crumpled school remains. It has been preserved as a memorial to the disaster, but almost every other sign of the quake has been erased. The village is full of new homes with friezes painted in strong Tibetan colours. Other buildings are topped with flat roof terraces, a white concrete triangle in each corner, echoing the white stones that adorn traditional Qiang architecture. The new homes look a little like Qiang stone houses on the outside, one villager concedes. "But inside they are all Han." Yingxiu is an example of "outstanding reconstruction", according to a billboard en route. Outside this showcase village, people have rebuilt their lives with less government help. But there is no denying that China set about reconstructing the earthquake zone with a speed and determination few other countries would be able to match.
