Abstract: An earthquake sequence occurred on Dec. 16, 1996 near Shunyi with the largest shock of ML 4. 5 is another significant set of earthquakes in Beijing area for the 6-year quies­cence, besides the Shacheng swarm in July 1995, which may have a certain influence on the seismic activity in Beijing area. The temporal features of the sequence, the seismicity characteristics in Shunyi area and their relation with the seismic activity in Beijing area are analyzed on the basis of tracing the earthquake sequence. The earthquake catalogue used in this paper is recorded by Beijing Telemetry Seismic Network.
