Virgin eggs (童子蛋) are chicken eggs cooked in the urine of young boys in China…
Apparently the bizarre delicacy has a pretty long history in Dongyang City. But it’s making national headlines recently as it was discovered by some folks that the street food has been listed as one of the city’s cultural heritage.
An unidentified flying object (UFO) was spotted last week near Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, China.
I thought it was a prank at first, but it’s later confirmed by the airport reps that 18 flights were interrupted due to the sighting on July 7. An official investigation has been launched, but with no conclusion yet.
There are many speculations about the UFO, but the foreign media seem to favour the idea that it’s a secret military experiment by the Chinese… a hypothesis which the Chinese government hasn’t publicly denied (or admitted whatsoever).
At least eight people were killed after a rising tide swept away more than 30 people in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province on August 2.
Thousands of people travelled to Hangzhou each year around August to witness a nature phenomenon, the tidal bore of Qiantang River.
A tidal bore is a tidal wave that travels up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the current. Qiantang’s tidal bore is the world’s largest and could reach up to 9 metres.
Most of the victims were non-locals, as the residents are aware of the danger. The local government has hired personnels to patrol along the river and warn people of the danger of incoming tides, but the advice was heeded unfortunately.
The worst recorded tidal accident at Qiantang was in October 3, 1993, as the tidewater swept away 86 people from the levee, leaving 19 dead and 40 missing.
