China's official Xinhua news agency says the quake struck a rural area in the southwestern province of Yunnan Sunday afternoon, destroying 700 homes and damaging a further 2,500 houses. There were no reports of fatalities.
Xinhua said the quake struck just nine kilometers beneath the surface.
The provincial earthquake bureau has sent a team to the quake area.
