On April 3, 2024, a powerful magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Hualien County in eastern Taiwan, with a shallow focal depth of approximately 12 kilometers. Due to its proximity to Taiwan’s eastern seaboard and its high magnitude, strong tremors were felt across coastal Fujian Province, including in cities such as Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Xiamen. Residents in high-rise buildings reported noticeable shaking lasting from several seconds to over ten seconds. According to the China Earthquake Networks Center, this was one of the strongest earthquakes to hit Taiwan in recent years and the most powerful since the devastating 1999 ‘921’ earthquake.Fujian Province lies just across the Taiwan Strait and shares similar tectonic characteristics, situated near the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate—an area prone to frequent seismic activity. As a result, major earthquakes in Taiwan often produce perceptible shaking in southeastern China, particularly in urban areas with tall buildings. Experts emphasize that while this quake caused no direct damage in Fujian, the public should remain vigilant, enhance earthquake preparedness, and be familiar with emergency response procedures. Authorities have stepped up seismic monitoring and public information dissemination to ensure public safety.
2024年4月3日，台湾花莲县海域发生7.3级强烈地震，震源深度约12公里。由于震中靠近台湾东海岸，且震级较高，福建沿海多地如福州、泉州、厦门等地均有明显震感，部分高层建筑居民反映晃动持续数秒至十余秒。据中国地震台网测定，此次地震为近年来台湾地区发生的最大规模地震之一，亦是自1999年‘9·21’大地震以来最强的一次。福建与台湾隔海相望，地质构造上同属欧亚板块与菲律宾海板块交界地带，地壳活动频繁。因此，台湾发生的强震常在福建沿海产生较强震感，尤其在高楼林立的城市区域更为明显。专家提醒，虽然此次地震未对福建造成直接破坏，但公众仍需提高防震减灾意识，熟悉应急避险措施。相关部门也已加强地震监测和信息发布，确保民众安全。
