Shuimo Town was hit by the earthquake on May 12, 2008. Located along the back edge of the renowned scenic attraction Mt. Qingcheng, and less than 10 kilometers from the epicenter of Yingxiu, Shuimo Town was severely damaged during the quake.

Since August 2008, the rescue team from Foshan city of south China's Guangdong Province has been leading a comprehensive reconstruction project. Following a conscientious study of the rich history of Shuimo Town, they decided to recreate it as a livable tourist and cultural spot featuring ecological construction with ethnic minority influences. Under this general blueprint, Shuimo has seen colleges, minority-influenced buildings, and public facilities shoot up around the core scenic attraction of Shouxi Lake.
