Plunging water levels in the Yangtze River in China’s southwestern city of Chongqing have revealed a trio of Buddhist statues believed to be 600 years old, state media has reported. “I don’t think we will see it again when the water level comes back, so I’m here to see it. This is a culture that our ancestors have left us,” local Gu Yunfeng said, swimming out to the once-submerged island.
