Woohoo! Zhelin Lake it is!
A bad translation follows...
The fifteenth season of Survivor (Survivor: China) will be filmed in Zhelin Lake of Jiujiang, Jiangxi. This region is also known as the Thousand Island Lake of Jiangxi. :groan:
Here is a Google image of Zhelin Lake (looks like a dragon). The local government is pretty smart, this is a great promotion opportunity!
Introduction to Zhelin Lake
Zhelin Lake is a freshwater lake formed by the construction of Asia's largest concrete (?) dam, the Great Zhelin Dam.
It is located in the northwestern corner of Jiangxi's Yongxiu County, 40km away from Nanchang. It's bounded 90km to the north by the world-famous Lushan, making it a superb location. Transportation is convenient, with Changjiu Expressway, the Jingjiu Railway, Changbei Airport and Routes 106 and 306 within 30-minute driving distance.
Zhelin Lake has a rich and unique biodiversity, and has been acclaimed as a "rare treasure".
The lake covers 308kmē of crystal clear water, and its average depth is 45m. With one being able to see nine miles across the lake, it is nationally classified as a First Class Water Body. Thousands of islands dot the lake, with 997 of them over five [Chinese] acres. In addition to that are the uncountable smaller islands, the lush vegetation, the lagoons and the mountain peaks.
Searching Google turned up these images, and here's the official site.
