Geschichte
Shicheng is an ancient underwater city situated under Qiandao Lake in Chun'an County, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, and was previously the county seat of the defunct Sui'an County. The city was flooded for the purpose of industrialization by the Chinese government in the year 1959 when a decision was made to construct a hydroelectric dam for the province of Zhejiang, forming Qiandao Lake. Evidence suggests that the lost city was inhabited for centuries, but it is now primarily used as an underwater tourist attraction by tourists and diving experts.
