So I read something here at SurvivorMaps about a lake called Zhelin and have been taking a closer look.
After looking all over Poyang lake--I can't believe that that would be the lake chosen. It seems to be way too popular and too much on the tourist circuit to work--I found lots of tour boats going up and down the lake. Seems like in the heart of summer that it would be way too hard to keep a secret there. And apparently the level of the lake can vary by as much as a third depending on the time of year and rainfall which would make it a little difficult to plan.
Far more off the beaten track is Zhelin Lake (it is confusing becase it is also called Che-lin and in some places Sanxiqiao). It is west of the Lu mountains but still close enough to be "considered in the "shadow of a sacred mountain". And I can't find any "tourist" info on it at all--which would be a very good point if you are production and want to keep a secret. I think it is a reservoir created when a Dam flooded an area. From GE there are lots of hidden corners that would allow for privacy.
And then there is this: :lol:
--- Quote ---Rare Peach Jellyfish
Recently people have spotted the peach jellyfish, a rare biological species over the water surface of Dinosaur Island of Zhelin Lake, Jiangxi Province. As is verified and confirmed by Hangzhou Institute of Biology, the peach jellyfish is a very ancient living creature, belonging to jellyfish coelenterate, or a small community under polypite class of cnidophore phylum. Unlike the ordinary jellyfish, the peach jellyfish lives in fresh water, which makes it an extremely rare species. It is briefed that the peach jellyfish has a living history of 1.5 billion years and is as precious as the panda. Before this, peach jellyfish was only seen at Zigui of the Three Gorges area.

Here is the GE view and the Dam at the end of the lake.

You found one picture?? Color me impressed--I looked for 2 hours last night and came up with ZERO! :lol:
But since they named a precious-as-a panda jellyfish after me and all --I'll have to stick with this lake for now! :funny:

Wezzie posted this @ sucks ...
:yess:
So it's official - the location is indeed Jiangxi. Where in Jiangxi is another matter. Nanchanglife has heard it on the grapevine that it's somewhere near the city of WuNing, possibly Zheling Lake. Anyone know if it'll be shown here in China?
