Top leaders have told rescuers to race against time to save lives and do their best to resettle survivors following the earthquake in Yunnan province as the death toll from Sunday's disaster rose to nearly 400.
 

Premier Li Keqiang walked for 5 km on muddy roads in Ludian county on Monday before arriving in Longquan, a village in Longtoushan township and the epicenter of the quake.
 

He stood in silent tribute to the victims, guided rescue efforts and comforted residents.
 

Sunday's magnitude-6.5 quake, which struck at 4:30 pm, killed at least 398 people and injured more than 1,900 others.
