The area around the Fuxian Lake is in the west branch of the Xiaojiang faulted zone, and is one of the regions with potential seismic activities. Destructive earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 5 (with intensity grade VI) happened in the region in history, and the region was affected many times by earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 6 occurring in neighbouring regions. From the analyses of geological structure of seismology and the characteristics of the seismic activities in recent years, the Fuxian Lake and the regions nearby are possible potential locations of epicenter for magnitude 7 to 7.5 earthquakes in the future. Therefore, according to the rules and regulations stipulated in "Anti Seismic and Natural Disaster Reduction Act", "Ordinance of Anti Seismic and Natural Disaster Reduction of Yuxi City", it is suggested that Yunnan Observatory should carry out evaluation of the seismic security in its construction of the Fuxian Lake Solar Observatory in accordance with the national technical standards decribed in "Technical Specifications for Evaluation of Seismic Security at Engineering Sites"
