A number of Chinese tourist attractions have been temporarily shut down due to earthquake damage.

The Chinese authorities are currently advising against visiting Tiger-Leaping Gorge, Meri Snow Mountain and the Yunnan Snub-Nosed Monkey National Park.

Aftershocks continue to affect the area and landslides have also caused travel problems, reports the Foreign Office.

The magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck parts of Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces on Saturday killing three people and injuring 59 others.
