Accompanied by the provincial Party chief Liu Qibao and governor Jiang Jufeng, Li went to settlements established for the quake homeless, schools and communities in the province.

During Li's visit to factories severely damaged by the 8.0-magnitude quake on May 12, the official stressed improving the ability of independent innovation.

Li met citizens and farmers in Mianyang, Deyang and Aba Autonomous Prefecture of Tibetan and Qiang nationalities.

The official also paid a visit to the site of the earthquake's epicenter Beichuan county.
