Top Five Lake Monsters in China
1. Monster of Lake Tianchi The Changbai Mountain is the highest mountain in Northeast Asia, at 2,189 meters above sea level. Tianchi is honored as the deepest mountain lake and the largest crater lake in China. Legends about the monster hidden in this 373-meter deep lake go back more than a century. There have been more than 30 reported sightings by tourists from home and abroad over the past 20 years. The first reported sighting was in 1903. There are quite a few pictures and videos of this creature, but none are clear enough to give a good enough clue as to what it is. "Some enthusiasts are coming up with computer images of it based on interviews. I do hope this will be helpful to unveil this century-old mystery." said Wu Guangxiao, who is investigating the Tianchi Lake monster. ![]() Two black-colored, unidentified animals were spotted by over 100 tourists in Lake Tianchi, northeast China’s Jilin Province on August 19, 2007. ![]() The file photo taken by a Chinese researcher for the first time shows the monster of Lake Tianchi emerged on July 21, 2005. |

Re: Top Five Lake Monsters in China
China's "Nessie" sighted Ten tourists from Guangdong and Hubei provinces were the latest to report a "water monster" sighting in Kanas Lake, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. They told local media that they saw a giant black creature on July 5 that stirred waves over 1 meter high and left a wake over 10 meters long for 20 seconds about 100 meters away from their boat. Kanas Lake, which means "beautiful, mysterious lake" in Mongolian, is China's deepest freshwater lake with a maximum depth of 188.5 meters, and 24 kilometers long from north to south. It's located in the Kanas Nature Reserve in the Aletai mountain area of northern Xinjiang and has been the source of numerous monster sightings, similar to Scotland's Loch Ness (or "Nessie") monster for decades – particularly since the 1980s when more visitors and settlers came to the area. Scientists have carried out investigations, though no conclusive evidence has been found of the creature. Some scientists believe, however, that the monsters may be taimen trout, one of the world's largest and most ferocious freshwater fish which can grow as long as 10 meters. source : http://english.people.com.cn/90001/9...2/6705330.html |
