China's Earthquake Networks Center put the magnitude higher at 6.4. The tremor lasted one to two minutes... with a rumbling noise," Ma Wulong, a Menyuan resident, told Xinhua. n October 2014, hundreds of people were injured and more than 100,000 displaced after a shallow 6.0 magnitude tremor hit Yunnan province, close to China's borders with Myanmar and Laos. In May 2008, a 7.9 magnitude quake rocked Sichuan, killing more than 80,000 people and flattening swathes of the province in China's worst earthquake for more than three decades. A shallow 5.9-magnitude earthquake jolted awake residents of China's northwestern Qinghai province on Thursday, with some choosing to sleep in their cars out of fear despite freezing temperatures of -20C (-4F).The quake hit at 1:13 am local time (1713 GMT) at a depth of just 10 kilometres (six miles), the United States Geological Survey said, with no reports of casualties.
