Earthquake memorial PXL_20230501_064821976

            The 921 earthquake, also known as the Chi-Chi earthquake, occurred on September 21, 1999, in Jiji, Nantou County, Taiwan. The epicenter was at 23.77° N latitude, 120.98° E longitude, 9.2 km southwest of Sun Moon Lake, near the town of Jiji. This memorial at the Paper Dome is located roughly 10 miles northeast of the epicenter.

The tremor measured 7.7 on the Moment magnitude scale and 7.3 on the Richter scale, and the focal depth was 8.0 km. The earthquake killed 2,415 people, injured 11,305, and caused NT$300 billion worth of damage. Tent cities popped up in fields and parks because many people were afraid of being in buildings while aftershocks continued. The disaster caused billions of dollars in economic losses. In 2001, the 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan opened in the city of Taichung, an area affected by the earthquake.
