According to the forecaster, the epicentre was located about 550km (342 miles) west-northwest of Hong Kong, with a focal depth of about 10km.

“The Observatory received more than 10 locally felt reports of the tremor, which lasted a few seconds,” it said on Monday.

“Initial estimates put the local intensity at II (two) on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, meaning it was felt by people at rest, on upper floors, or in favourable positions.”
