People walking beside an ancient stone bridge on the dried

This picture taken on November 2, 2013 shows people walking beside an ancient stone bridge on the dried up lakebed of Poyang lake in Jiujiang, east China's Jiangxi province. A stone bridge dating back to the Ming dynasty has been discovered after water levels plunged at China's largest freshwater lake, a Beijing newspaper reported on January 3, 2014. The remains of the 2,930-metre-long bridge, made entirely of granite and dating back nearly 400 years, appeared at Poyang lake in the central province of Jiangxi, the Beijing News reported. The lake, which has been as large as 4,500 square kilometres in the past, has been drying up in recent years due to a combination of low rainfall and the impact of the Three Gorges Dam, experts say.
