For visitors to China who have Sichuan on the itinerary.

More than 50% of the province has been affected by this earthquake while the north western counties have been most affected.

Thes include tourist attractions like
Jiuzhaigou (flying in and out may be the best option for the next few weeks)
Huanglong
Wolong Panda Reserve (Off limits until further notice)
Dujianggan Ancient Irrigation Scheme (Off limits until further notice)
Chengdu City in general
There are irregularities in the incidences of destruction and I imagine that it will be several weeks even months before some areas have been clear sufficiently for the government to allow resumption of tourism.

Both Chengdu and Wenchuan are major transport hubs in the region and road travel may be seriously restricted for some time so it would be wise to be cautious and make enquiries with authorities before trying to travel in Wenchuan and southern Aba counties.

Leshan and Emei may be less affected but do make inquiries before venturing. The city of Ya'an is south west of Chengdu, closer to Leshan and Emei and it was also badly devastated.
