The 5.1-magnitude quake struck at 12:18 pm on the border between Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning province, and Dengta city, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center.
A report on the People's Daily website said people in Shenyang said they felt a strong quake, which lasted for about 30 seconds, with houses shaking violently. The quake was also felt in other cities in Liaoning province, the report said.
