LANZHOU, March 5 (Xinhua) — Over the past decade or so, Zhouqu County, a geologically fragile area in northwest China's Gansu Province, has witnessed a number of severe natural disasters.

In August 2010, a horrendous mudslide swept across part of the county, killing over 1,000 people.

The provincial government has been mulling over relocating some of Zhouqu's population to safer regions for years.

In June last year, the first phase of the relocation project kicked off, prioritizing those living in the most dangerous areas.

Three months later, over 850 families moved from Zhouqu to their new homes in a newly developed district adjacent to the provincial capital Lanzhou.
