File photo taken on Nov. 4, 2005 shows the sinuous national highway No. 213 wandering through the deep valley further away the remote, steep and rugged mountainous areas, linking Dujiangyan City, Maoxian County and Songpan County and Wenchuan County, the epicenter of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck on Monday, in southwest China's Sichuan Province. The highways are buckled and caved in from the quake and massive rockslides lining the roads hamper the rescue efforts to a large extent.
