After Ji Ji, we still have time, so we decide went to Wu Feng 921 Earthquake Museum - the place that not in our plan~ =D
You will shocked by what you see there...This museum was a former primary school and badly destroyed by this severe earthquake. The museum tried to conserve as original as it can to reveal the destructive power of earthquake and also try to educate public what should we do when facing earthquake. For the people who never experience earthquake before will hardly imagine how powerful of the natural disaster...
Let's flash back this historical event...
The 921 earthquake , was a 7.3 Ms or 7.6 Mw earthquake which occurred at 1:47 local time (17:47 UTC) on September 21, 1999 in Jiji, Nantou County, Taiwan. 2,415 people were killed, 11,305 injured, and NT$300 billion (US$10 billion) worth of damage was done. It was the second-deadliest quake in recorded history in Taiwan, after the 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung earthquake.
