Land Subsidence Suddenly Happens in Guangzhou Downtown, Houses Fall into “Sinkhole”

2013 January 28, at around 4pm, the ground collapsed next to the Kangwang Road subway station construction site in Guangzhou’s Lizhiwan district, causing the dilapidated buildings and stores by the road to immediately fall in and collapsing five shops. At around 9pm that night, the ground at the scene of the land subsidence collapsed a second time.

​

The ground next to a metro station construction site on Kangwangnan Road collapsed, the area of the land subsidence being approximately 50㎡, with a depth of about 9 meters. Currently, firefighters are doing their best to searching to rescue those trapped.

​

A reporter at the scene claimed the subsidence situation may get worse. At a distance of 20 meters from where the ground gave way, he could clearly hear the sound of cracking, and the cracks on the ground were continuing to spread. The police and the fire department are currently requesting residents of nearby buildings to evacuate immediately.
