One of the worst hit regions in the epicentre of the earthquake. The mountainous terrain, coupled with poor weather, has made the rescue operation extremely difficult

As the roads and bridges were severely damaged by the earthquake, four counties in the epicentre of the earthquake were completely cut off with the outside world. The rescue operation was hampered by the bad weather and the mountainous terrain of the region. The PLA made two unsuccessful attempts to land a helicopter into the epicentre. An attempt to drop paratroopers into the epicentre was also given up. The rescue troops were ordered to enter the disaster zone by foot. Some troops had reached the outskirt of the epicentre by the midnight. At 11:40 on 13 May, a medical team and 1,300 infantry troops finally reached Wenchan County. Throughout the day, more troops began to reach the county for rescue operation.
