HANWANG, Sichuan Province  -- China's top legislator Wu Bangguo on Wednesday morning visited a steam turbine production base in quake-hit Hanwang town of southwestern Sichuan Province.

On Tuesday, Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, visited Yingxiu town of Wenchuan County, the epicenter of the massive May 12 earthquake, and the Zipingpu dam near Wenchuan.

He also dropped in a temporary shelter camp on Tuesday afternoon in Dujiangyan, another hard-hit city in the province, to console the victims.

Wu left Beijing on Monday to direct disaster relief work in quake-ravaged Sichuan. Shortly after his arrival at the provincial capital  Chengdu, he visited a local hospital and a distribution center of relief goods.

Wu is also member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
