A mountain climber from Xi’an was trying to climb the Big Girl of Sigunian (Four Girls) Mountain at 2:27pm, May 12. Then he saw the avalanche coming and took these precious pictures from behind a huge rock where he hided. It is until he returned back when he knew that a devastating earthquake has just stroked the area.

Please note that the time is based on the camera. It is a little bit inaccurate compare to the real earthquake time.

    it is my first time to see the kind of pictures about avalanche. it was a wonderful paradise for many people who love the mystic mountains covering by snow in Sichuan. praying for those who lost families and who become disabilities.
