Chinese company wants to build this spectacular floating city

With so many of China's 1.4 billion people clustered around its coastline, things can get pretty crowded. So instead of using more precious land space to build the cities of the future, a Chinese company has proposed using some of the 71 percent of the Earth's surface that's covered by water for expansion.

Floating City will be a four square mile structure that floats like an iceberg, with some of the surface structure visible above the surface, but most of the action happening down below the waterline. Built on land in large hexagonal sections, the pieces will be slotted together like a giant jigsaw puzzle in the ocean. Designed to be totally self-sufficient, Floating City will have its own farms and waste disposal systems, and will offer everything from housing to entertainment, sports complexes and shopping. Transportation will be provided using a series of underwater tunnels and submarines.

To create a plan for Floating City, CCCC turned to an architecture firm called AT Design Office, and they came up with the basic design of how it could all fit together. CCCC is now looking over the proposal with the China Transport Investment Comapny who may finance the project. It all seems a bit fanciful, but this wouldn't be the first time that China has actually built something that seemed like a pipe dream when you first saw the proposal.

6 Incredible Pictures of an Ancient Chinese City Submerged Underwater

Some call it the Atlantis of China, and rightfully so. Located beneath the water in the China's Qiandao Lake lies the ancient city of Shi Cheng, which has been submerged underwater for 53 years. This city was founded about 1,300 years ago in a valley surrounded by the Five Lion Mountains. The city was left at the bottom of this new body of water when the Chinese government decided they needed a new hydroelectric power station, a dam and man-made lake.
 

According to My Modern Met, "Much like the Machu Picchu ruins in Peru, this underwater city remained forgotten until some renewed interest lead to its rediscovery. Qiu Feng, a local official in charge of tourism thought about utilizing Shi Cheng for entertainment on the lake and as a destination for diving clubs. On September 18, 2001, scuba divers made their first attempt underwater."

Chinese man reveals pictures of an 'alien' in his freezer after claiming to have witnessed a UFO crash land near his house

A Chinese man has posted photographs of him posing next to an 'alien' which he claims to have trapped after it crash landed.
The pictures of Mr Li standing next to the rather crude looking extraterrestrial have sparked a frenzy of speculation social networking sites across China.
Mr Li claims he saw a formation of UFOs buzzing across the night sky along the Yellow River in Binzhou Shangdong province.

Far fetched: A man claims he found an alien on the banks of the Yellow River and stored it in his freezer

Outlandish claims: This bizarre and crude figure is apparently proof aliens exist after a man said he found on the banks of the Yellow River

Suddenly, one of the crafts plummeted to earth and soon afterwards Mr Li discovered the charred remains of the visitor from outta space in a rabbit trap, he claims.
Mr Li insists he took the bizarre looking creature back to be stored in a freezer at his home after the crash-landing in March.
However, the outlandish claims were quickly brought back to earth.

Social networks across China are awash with frenzied speculation and conspiracy about the pictures of an 'alien'

Not alone: Mr Li claims to have seen a number of UFOs flying over the Yellow River when one crashed to the ground and was electrocuted on one of his rabbit traps

Fake: According to a statement from Binzhou police the alien is fake and made entirely out of rubber

Police issued a statement saying the rather unconvincing figure at the bottom of a chest freezer was, in fact, not another life form but high quality rubber.
'The alien purported electrocuted and discovered by a man in Binzhou is a high quality imitation,' the Jinan Police posted on their Sina microblog. 'The body is made up of high quality rubber.'
Undeterred by the police attempts to pour scorn on the possibility the alien is real, Chinese bloggers are busy trying to connect the Shandong alien to a purported UFO siting in Hubei province.
