Marvellous buildings that emerged from water

The turtle-shaped island that's underwater nine months out of every year
Every year, thousands of Chinese tourists flock to the Gorges Reservoir to see an elusive turtle-shaped island rise from the waters of the Muodaoxi River. It sounds like a fascinating natural phenomenon, but the "magic" is man-made. The water level of Muodaoxi River is controlled by the Three Gorges Dam. Every spring, the reservoir supplies water to the areas downstream, bringing down the water level and exposing the island.
