The White Crane Ridge in the Yangtze River, believed to be the world's most ancient hydrographic survey station, is now a unique subaquatic museum, Tan Yingzi reports.
In Fuling, in Southwest China's Chongqing, Baiheliang Underwater Museum, the first of its kind in the world, shows how the Chinese made use of water resources.
About 1,300 years ago, the ancient Chinese would gather at Baiheliang, or the White Crane Ridge, in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River when it protruded from the water during the dry season, usually from December until March.
