Southwest China's Yunnan Province has finished rebuilding tens of thousands of homes damaged in the deadly Aug. 3, 2014 earthquake, the authority said on Thursday.

That includes 48,606 houses in Ludian County, the epicenter, with an investment of 2.3 billion yuan (352 million U.S. dollars), according to the post-quake reconstruction headquarters.

All the tents for temporary shelter have been dismantled, it said.

House reconstruction in the adjacent Qiaojia and Huize counties and Zhaoyang District of Zhaotong City has also been completed.

China unveiled a three-year plan in November 2014 to rebuild houses, public utilities, infrastructure and industry. Both central and provincial governments provided financial support.

The 6.5-magnitude quake on Aug. 3, 2014 killed more than 600 people and destroyed about 80,000 homes.
