The Underwater City of Shicheng China’s Lost Lion City | The Drowned City Frozen in Time

The Underwater City of Shicheng – China’s Lost “Lion City” | The Drowned City Frozen in Time
Beneath the still waters of Qiandao Lake, in eastern China, lies a city lost to time — Shicheng, also called the Lion City. Once alive with families, temples, and markets, it was submerged in 1959 when the valley was flooded to build a hydroelectric dam. Thousands of people were forced to leave behind their homes, their memories, and their history.

For decades, no one knew what had become of Shicheng — until divers made a breathtaking discovery. Deep below the surface, they found an entire city preserved in silence. Its stone archways, temples, and carvings remained intact, untouched by decay. Streets, statues, and gates still stand as they did over 1,300 years ago, frozen beneath 130 feet of water.

Today, Shicheng is known as the “Atlantis of the East.” Divers who enter its depths describe a haunting beauty — a ghost city where time stopped but stories linger. Every submerged wall tells of lives once filled with laughter, love, and loss.

The Underwater City of Shicheng is more than a sunken wonder. It is a powerful symbol of memory, sacrifice, and the cost of progress. A city drowned by human hands, yet alive in spirit, whispering through the waters of history.

💧 Shicheng – where sorrow sleeps, and beauty never dies.
