Buildings That Emerged From Water
When Nature decides to show its power and gets furious, there is nothing that mankind can do to stop the disaster.
It is we, the people, who have been spoiling the natural system; and no doubt, natural calamities are a common thing.
When earthquake strikes or tsunami occurs, thousands of lives are lost and many heritage buildings or the entire villages are even lost. It would take years and eras to see the lost places surface up.
In this article, we've shared information on some of the buildings that have emerged from water.
Initially, when the peak of the buildings start appearing from under the water, it does make you skip your heartbeat, but when you learn in depth about these places, you would only be amazed how powerful nature is.
Find out about some of the buildings that have resurfaced after a couple of years. Have a look.

Every year, many tourists in China flock to the Gorges Reservoir to see an elusive turtle-shaped island rise from the waters of the Muodaoxi river.
