Kendwa Thousand Island Lake sunken ancient cities, the place had not heard of him before

We may see in one day and one island and stand dumbfounded in front, but when you see the lake containing thousands Islan !! I think it will be very surprising to you, but that makes it even more surprising when you know that a real scene and not just a fantasy or science fiction movie, here are the details.

Lake Kindu Qiandao or as they are called Thousand Island Lake and sunken ancient cities because it includes 1078 Big Island and a large number of small islands., This lake located in Zhejiang Province, China, about 150 km from Hangzhou, is that lake, an artificial lake and It formed after the completion of the Xin'an River hydroelectric station in 1959, to build a tank

Water is considered that lake drinkable sometimes used for the production of mineral water, and have been converted those wonderful lake to the tourist area with containing numerous islands different name for every island name what you will find these islands are called, for example, Bird Island, the island of Snake, and Monkey Island, lock Island, Island ticket childhood.

All of this is very natural and can be accepted without astonishing !! But the surprising lies in what lies under the lake and the islands, that the island synthetic formed because of the flood that has been after construction of a dam on the lake, and when this happened the flood had drowned beneath cities complete constructed from about 1300 years and these cities are "are Zhang "and" Shi Chang "

It sank both cities in September 1959, when the Chinese government decided to build a plant to generate hydroelectric power and tank to meet the needs of the population of the city of Hangzhou water, especially since their number is increasing dramatically. Vgmrt water two ancient cities in addition to 27 other city and village in 1377 and about 50 thousand acres of agricultural land and thousands of houses. It was then deported about 290 thousand people to complete the project, and is regrettable that the Chinese government at that time did not maintain those ancient cities

And entered the towns of "Shi Cheng" It Sheng "Limbo for 40 years until it was reminding the year 2001, when Qiu Feng decided, and is responsible for local tourism, investment cities incidents in the depths of the lake," Kendwa "for the purposes of tourism The cooperation with the club to dive in Beijing and request divers try scuba diving in the water, and look at the city. On September 18, 2001, the first attempt to reach the city succeeded and the surprise was that cities remained the same. Vtm local government to inform the new discovery, and with further research, it was discovered that the walls of the sunken city for decades, remained intact and the wooden doors and stairs have remained as they are.

The picture above this is a city, "Shi Chang" under the waters of the lake, and in January 2011 was formally those ancient cities recording as relics Finally, some have suggested building the walls of the protective pump water away from the sunken cities in order to remain the same as they are deemed to be relics now that must be maintained. , But the Chinese government find this idea as expensive as that walls alone can not bear the water pressure.
Finally, the Chinese Academy of Sciences building Archimedes Bridge, a commentator proposed corridor in the water but it is unique and very difficult project currently concerned with seven countries to conduct research on this project, including Norway, Japan, Switzerland, Brazil and the United States. If successful Archimedes Bridge project for the Lake "Kendwa" would be the first real Archimedes bridge in the world. , "" "There was no other information about us this project will, therefore, we are looking for and we are introducing you" ""
