Survivors of Beichuan government regroup and vow name will not vanish
Tucked away in a small lane off the main street among several closed grocery shops in Anchang town, An county, is the Tianlong, or Sky Dragon, hotel.
Like any other two-star hotel in any other remote town in the country, it has a garish, gold-tinted facade, but inside it is damp, worn and somewhat nicotine stained.
But Sky Dragon is not just any hotel. It is accommodating the Communist Party Central Committee and the People's Government of Beichuan County - the hardest-hit area of the Sichuan quake.
After a brief 'opening ceremony' yesterday morning, Pu Fangfang, the county's deputy party chief, promised survivors - most of whom are now living in tents - that Beichuan would be reborn.
'The central government cares a great deal about Beichuan,' Mr Pu said. 'It has ordered that a new Beichuan must be built within three years.'
