Yongan has become a ghost town. Its residents are either dead, evacuated, or camping out in the local school yard. Just a few kilometres south of Beichuan, where state media have reported thousands of deaths from Monday's massive earthquake in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan, Yongan has been almost totally destroyed.
