Has anyone seen the underwater ancient city of Qiandao Lake, and is it still well preserved?

I watched all the reports at that time! Pretty well kept! Aren't you a local?

The ancient city of Zhejiang, which was submerged by water, is still intact after a thousand years, and can be called the "underwater dragon palace".

Qiandao Lake sank the ancient city to the bottom to build the Xin'an Hydropower Station, the first self-designed hydroelectric power station built in China in the late 50s of the 20th century.

In 1959, in order to build China's first self-designed and self-made large-scale hydroelectric power station - Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station.

Will be Chun'an. The two thousand-year-old cities of Hesui'an, together with 49 towns and 1,377 villages, sank to the bottom of the water. With the sinking of not only 10,000 acres of fertile land and 1,000 houses, but also most of the Spring and Autumn Warring States ruins and ancient archways.

Qiandao Lake is an artificial lake, and the ancient cities at the bottom of the lake have a history of thousands of years, one of which is called Hecheng and the other is called Lion City.

Compared with Hecheng, the Lion City is relatively well preserved.

With the help of many underwater archaeological sites and a professional diving team, the mysterious underwater ancient city of Qiandao Lake.

Lift the veil. This also allows us to reconnect with the ancient underwater city, and the memories of being immersed underwater for decades are once again remembered.

The water of Qiandao Lake makes it possible to judge the existence of a thousand-year-old city.

There are two county towns under the water of Qiandao Lake, one is called Guchun'an City, and the other is called Gusui Ancheng. In October 1955, the then Ministry of Electric Power Industry selected Tongguan on the border of Chun'an and Jiande to build the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, and the two ancient cities in western Zhejiang, together with 27 towns, more than 1,000 villages, 300,000 acres of Liangkai slippery fields and thousands of houses, quietly sank to the bottom of the lake. The history of the ancient city dates back to 1800 years ago, and the history books record that:

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (208 AD), the Eastern Wu general He Qi crusaded against Shanyue, pacified Yi and She, and set up Shixin County in Ye Township in the east of She County, and set up Xinding County in Wuqiang Township in the south of She County.

Qiandao Lake is one of the national key scenic spots, which is located in Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province. The lake area is dominated by natural and cultural landscapes, and the main scenic spots are Meifeng View Island, Longshan Island, Wulong Island, Peacock Garden, Wenxin Island, etc., with vast waters and numerous islands, and the cultural landscape and natural landscape complement each other and complement each other.

According to the news, the mysterious underwater ancient city of Qiandao Lake is similar to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang? Stunned. It is said that under Qiandao Lake is a world-famous underwater ancient city, at the bottom of the lake you have disappeared for thousands of years of ancient cities, recently, scientists in the exploration of the amazing discovery, Qiandao Lake underwater ancient city is very similar to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, it can be said that it is like a god, what is going on.

Under Qiandao Lake, there are two thousand-year-old cities: Hecheng and Lion City. In 1959, in order to build the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, the largest water conservancy project at that time, the two counties of Chun'an Yuzhuliang County and Sui'an County in Zhejiang Province were merged into Chun'an County, and 290,000 people left their hometowns and migrated from there.

The two ancient cities of Shicheng and Hecheng, which have lasted for thousands of years, together with 27 towns, more than 1,000 villages, 300,000 acres of fertile land and thousands of houses, have quietly sunk to the bottom of the blue waters of Qiandao Lake.

Fifty-three years ago, the Lion City, the county seat of Chun'an, Zhejiang Province, sank into a sea of water, and the sky above the Lion City became a calm water surface - the beautiful scenery of Qiandao Lake intoxicated Chinese and foreign tourists. 53 years later, an underwater exploration activity shocked the whole country, and the live broadcast of the underwater ancient city of Qiandao Lake jointly created by ** TV station and Zhejiang Satellite TV slowly unveiled the mystery of the two thousand-year-old cities in the amazement of the national audience.

Fiber made. The underwater ancient city of Qiandao Lake was adopted, and the underwater live broadcast visited the well-preserved outline of the Lion City wall in the North Gate area, the memorial arch of Yao Wang's filial piety festival and the surrounding buildings; On the second day, the underwater robot explored Xiaoximen, focusing on the city wall, city gate, city tower near Xiaoximen, and the Lie Bridge not far away; On the third day, the two underwater shots successfully found the east gate of the Lion City, the Qingyun City Gate, the Xunliangfang of the Huangjiang River, and other exploration targets.

But when the underwater machine released the video of the underwater ancient city of Qiandao Lake, the experts were stunned, because they were surprised to find that the underwater ancient city looked very similar to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and the experts said that it was incredible that this thousand-year-old city could remain intact in the water for thousands of years.

Have you ever dived in a freshwater lake? Diving does not have to go to the sea, in the territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in China, there is an artificial lake full of small islands, hence the name "Thousand Island Lake". What's even more amazing is that under this lake, there are two thousand-year-old cities that have been sleeping for 50 years, and most people come to dive, mostly for these two ancient cities.

The following is an introduction to the underwater ancient city landscape and the precautions for diving in Qiandao Lake.

Under Qiandao Lake, there are two thousand-year-old cities built in the Han and Tang dynasties: Hecheng and Lion City.

In 1959, 290,000 people moved out of Hecheng and Shicheng for the construction of the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station.

Hecheng is also known as the ancient city of Chun'an, was founded in 208 A.D., rich in cultural monuments, many literati have come, excellent works cluster. The Lion City, also known as Sui'an, has a little later history than the ancient city of Chun'an, because it is named after the Five Lions Mountain, the waterway transportation is convenient, and there are many places of interest and historic sites in the ancient city, such as the ancient tower, the archway, the City God Temple, the Zhonglie Bridge, etc.

The water temperature varies greatly with the seasons within 10 meters. It can be 22-30 degrees in the summer and below 15 degrees in the winter. The temperature of 10-30 meters is maintained at 12-18 degrees all year round.

Below 30 meters, it is basically 5-12 degrees. Therefore, it is more challenging for tropical divers, and it is highly recommended to use a dry suit.

Visibility can be as important as other water activities such as farmhouses or kayaking, and shallow visibility can be only about 3 meters. It will be clearer anyway. Seasons, rain, microorganisms, etc., can also affect visibility.

In general, there can be 5-6 meters below 15 meters above the water surface. Under 30 meters, if the water conditions are particularly good, there may be 10 meters. In general, it can't be compared to nautical miles.

It is also important to note that there is a thick silt at the bottom of the water, and once it is stirred, there may be zero visibility. It's no exaggeration to say that I can't even read the computer watch.

Light, large green water within 10 meters on a sunny day, dim below 10 meters, and completely dark below 20 meters. So darkness is a psychological challenge for divers.
