One Picture = 1,000 Words? Here’s 5,000 (and Change)

In my week trawling the web for images, there are some pictures I come across – which, I always hope, TWP could use to illustrate articles, but most of the time, it’s just a cousin to the Wiki wormhole. Here they are, and a bonus if you’re stuck inside due to the snow like we are: guess for which of this week’s articles they were culled.

Unbelievably Vivid Photos of an Underwater City in China

An ancient city, known as Shi Cheng or Lion City, has been buried beneath the water for 53 years. Like many lost cities of the past, it was “rediscovered” and seem to be well-preserved. Lion City is now located about 85 to 131 feet beneath Qiandao Lake (千島湖), or, literally, A Lake of Thousand Island, a man-made lake located in Chun’an County, Zhejiang, China, formed since the completion of the Xinanjiang hydroelectric station. It could be a great location for your next adventure dive.
