It was rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty in 621 AD and is considered the center of political and economic activity in the eastern province of Zhejiang.
Scientists have discovered new secrets of the flooded Lion city in China. It was deliberately lowered underwater in 1959. It came as part of an ambitious government effort to build the Xin’an Dam and its adjacent hydroelectric power plant, writes Arkeonews.
Because of the flooding, 300 thousand people were forced to move. In addition, the civilizations of ancient cities were under water.
In 2001, the very first diving expedition discovered an amazingly well-preserved city with many structures, intricate carvings, guardian lions and majestic arches, still irresistible in their magnificence.
It is now known that the Lion City was once a major center of political and economic activity in the eastern province of Zhejiang. It was built during the Tang Dynasty in 621 AD.
At one time, the city boasted five city gates and towers, which was a departure from the usual four-gate city layout.
