An ancient stone bridge has reappeared in China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang in East China's Jiangxi province, after the water dried up. The 2,930-metre-long stone bridge is made of granite and was one of around 1,000 similar stone bridges constructed during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The combination of drought and water storage upstream at the Three Gorges Dam has affected water levels in Poyang lake. Normally, this ancient bridge lies at the bottom of the lake.
