Yushu, a household name in China after a massive earthquake that left nearly 3,000 dead or missing 10 years ago, has risen from the debris and shines as a modern city on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

A 7.1-magnitude quake hit Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in northwest China's Qinghai Province on April 14, 2010, and left around 3,000 people dead or missing.
