If you’re a fan of Aquaman, then you’ll surely be amazed to know that there’s a real-world Atlantis in China. In 1959 when the Xin’an River Hydropower Station was being built, a flood caused the city to drown underwater, trapped for the years to come.
Mysteriously enough, the water which enveloped the city also protects it from the usual erosive effects of wind and rain. Despite being underwater for 60 years, it still remains in good condition and divers can even venture down to explore in the site.
