The Lost City of Shicheng

The Lost City of Shicheng

This Chinese city has stood safely on the surface for more than twelve centuries. But in 1959, the Chinese government decided to create an artificial lake called Qingdao, known as the Lake of a Thousand Islands.

The construction of a hydroelectric dam resulted in 573 square kilometers of land being submerged. The islands left on the surface of the lake occupy an area of about 86 square kilometers.

Once submerged, Lion City has a chance to survive even longer. No sunlight, no wind or erosion.

Thousands of divers come here every year, making Shincheng one of the most visited diving sites not only in China, but also
Bikini Atoll

In the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean is Bikini Atoll, where the U.S. actively conducted nuclear tests.

Other explosions were rarely caught on film, but this one was filmed quite often. Of course - 67 tests between 1946 and 1955
