Fishtail Fantasy

Lu Shanshan is a mermaid.

During the past five years, the 24-year-old has put on a fishtail to perform in a big water tank along with hundreds of fish and turtles at the Marine Fantasy Amusement Park of Yuncheng city in North China's Shanxi province.

A graduate of Shaanxi Art College who learned to dance as a child, Lu, a native of Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province, chose the job because of her love for both acting and water.
