Last Wednesday, an old man in downtown Huaibei, Anhui province, drew a big crowd as he tried to sell a hyacinth-shaped turtle.

Xu bought the strange tortoise last year at a flower and bird market in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, for 80 yuan ($11). He said he planned to sell it in Huaibei for a higher price.
