Dubbed as a paradise floating on the sea, the Chinese dead sea resort in Daying County, southwest China's Sichuan Province, has been built into a tourism site where tourists are able to experience floating on sea surface, to enjoy water recreations and receive health care.
150 million years ago, the plate movement separated the land and turned vast seas into farming land. Severe plate movements created two inland lakes at latitude 30 degrees north. The one on the surface is called the Dead Sea in the Middle East; the other one, called Chinese dead sea, is a huge underground salt lake containing 4.2 billion tons of seawater. Both lakes are at the same latitude, same altitude, even the structures of their water molecule is the same. People can float on the surface of the dead seas without striking a blow because seawater there contains minerals and salt that are 9 times higher than ordinary seawater.
