Rescuers are searching for the missing mainland tourists in Taiwan.

"I'm moved by local rescue workers because they are risking their lives to search for the missing," said missing tourist Lu Rika's sister-in-law, Zhao Hongbing.

"But from what I saw today, I think the local rescue authorities should mobilize more people and use more large machinery. I don't know when we can see our relatives with the current rescue force," she told Xinhua.

In the afternoon, those who went to the site told 29 others, who were unable to make the trip due to bad weather, what they saw.

Terms such as "section 112.8 km, 114.5 km and 116 km" that used to be meaningless to the mainland people, most of whom have not been in Taiwan before, denote "the benchmark of lives of their beloved."

"I was expecting to see my sister alive two days ago, but the chance of finding anybody alive is dim," said Zhou Lifang, sister of missing tourist Zhou Suhua.
