Original Message Divers have discovered the underwater remains of an ancient city located about 90 feet below the surface of Qiandao Lake in China's far eastern province.

Researchers believe the city, called Shicheng, belongs to the Eastern Han Dynasty, dating back to around 25 to 220 CE.

Found in Zhejiang province, the city is also known as ‘Lion City’ because of the ornate lion statues that guard its entrance. The statues are reported to be in a fair situation in their underwater abode.

Guardian lions stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, Imperial tombs, government offices, temples, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy ones in pre-modern China.
