Divers Found a 1,300-Year-Old City at the Bottom of a Chinese Lake

In 1959, a walled city in eastern China that had stood for more than a thousand years was emptied in days to make way for a hydroelectric dam, and the water rose over it. Four decades later, a small group of divers descended into the cold, dark lake to find out what was left. The record of what they saw, and of the people who once lived there, is stranger than the legend of a drowned city suggests. #Shicheng #LionCity #QiandaoLake #China #UnderwaterCity #LostCity #History #ForgottenHistory
