Shaking flusters Beijing travelers

Cheng Ning, 38, from Beijing, was visiting Jiuzhaigou county, a scenic spot in northern Sichuan province, when it was hit by a magnitude-7.0 earthquake at 9:19 pm on Tuesday.

I was resting on a bed with my family in the Sheraton Hotel in Jiuzhaigou when the earthquake struck. The bed shook violently and the room trembled.

Feeling a little bit confused at the beginning but quickly realizing it was an earthquake, I ran downstairs with my wife and 10-year-old son.
