(161202) -- CHENGDU, Dec. 2, 2016 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on Nov. 29, 2016 shows the Wolong Primary School in the Wolong National Nature Reserve, southwest China's Sichuan Province. Nearly 200 reconstruction projects were undertaken by the Hong Kong government at a combined cost of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars (1.29 billion U.S. dollars) following the magnitude 8 Wenchuan earthquake that took nearly 70,000 lives, according to a report issued by the Hong Kong government late November. These projects were scattered in 12 cities and prefectures in Sichuan. Twenty-three of them are located in the Wolong National Nature Reserve, famous for giant pandas. (Xinhua/Xue Yubin) (wx)
