Chinese President Hu Jintao, who returned on Saturday from a shortened visit to Latin America, headed for worst-hit Gyegu Town in Yushu immediately after landing at Batang Yushu Airport in northwest China's Qinghai province on Sunday.
Mr Hu first visited the village of Zhaxi Datong to inspect the situation and console the quake's victims. He then visited those injured in the quake receiving treatment at the stadium in Yushu to make sure there were enough medical supplies and that epidemic prevention and control work was proceeding smoothly.
"There will be new schools! There will be new homes!" Mr Hu wrote in chalk on the blackboard of a makeshift classroom in tent when visiting orphaned students in Yushu.
The 7.1-magnitude quake which struck the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu on Wednesday morning has left at least 1,484 dead, 312 missing and 12,088 injured, as of 5 p.m. Saturday.
