The Ludian earthquake occurred at 16:03, Beijing time (08:03 UTC), on 3 August 2014. American geological surveys indicated that the epicenter was WSW of Zhaotong city at a depth of ,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://earthquaketrack.com/quakes/2014-08-03-08-30-13-utc-6-1-10 )〕 in the quake-prone province of Yunnan in southwestern China, about from Zhaotong. It was especially felt in the province of Yunnan, and less in the provinces of Guizhou and Sichuan.
The magnitude of the earthquake was 6.1 on the moment magnitude scale,〔 with an intensity of up to VII (''Very Strong'') on the Mercalli intensity scale. The quake was the result of a strike-slip fault, whose fault plane has a southwest-northeast strike.
Seismicity in this region of southeast Asia is the direct result of the orogenic activity of the Himalayan mountain belt. Due to the complex interaction between the Eurasian Plate and Indo-Australian Plate from Afghanistan in the west to Burma and China in the east, many shallow sub-surface faults are present in both southwest China and neighbouring Myanmar.
