Chinese archeologists have excavated 11 dikes, which are near to the ancient city of Liangzhu that existed about 4,500 to 5,300 years ago in Yuhang District of today's Hangzhou. The finding is the oldest large water system ever found in China, which is believed to have combined functions of flood control, transportation and irrigation. (Photo: Xinhua/Wang Dingchang)
