Amazing China EP18: 

The Road Under the Water

In southern China, there is a famous road built across Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake. The people of China call it “the most beautiful road under the water”.

Towards the end of May every year, this road begins to attract a lot of attention.

The color of the lake either side begins to change into two different tones. The surface of the road is so close to the water level of the lake. As you drive along the viewer head is broad and bright. It feels as though you are riding a boat across the lake.

People call it the road under the water. For the next few months, this road is no longer just above the surface, but deep under water.

As the water level of Poyang Lake rises, the road is gradually flooded. Although drivers can no longer see the road surface, they can still drive across safely by keeping within the guardrails on either side.

For thrill seeking motorists, it's like driving an amphibious supercar. As the water levels continue to rise, after a few days, the entire road will be completely submerged.

Eventually, a few months later, the road reappears again.
