Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao continued his tour of the Tangjiashan quake lake on Friday, encouraging soldiers, local residents and engineers for further drainage preparations.

Following yesterday's inspection, he stressed three principals in easing the quake lake pressure: safety, science and speed.

Wen stressed that the key point was to be quick. As time goes on, water will induce more pressure on the dam body, and all the uncertain factors will pose more serious dangers for the safety of local people and the post-quake reconstruction.
