China recently issued a nationwide drought warning for the first time in nine years amid a record heat wave and below-average rainfall.
Along with Europe, China has been coping with unprecedented heat waves this summer.
Like in many other countries, a drought in China has exposed previously submerged antiquities. Previously partially submerged in water, the island of Luoxing Dun, which hosts several ancient temples, has resurfaced completely.
Usually half submerged in water, Luoxing Dun, a small island with ancient temples on it, can be seen in China's large freshwater Lake Poyang in Juijiang in the country’s central Jiangxi province.
