The village, located in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province on the east coast of China, was captured via drone footage. The Jiakou Reservoir dried up and revealed the foundations of many buildings. Local Mr Xu said tourists have been visiting the site looking for hidden treasures.
The reservoir has been affected by drought which led to the water drying up.
While locals are excited over the new village they worry about the effects it will have on their water supply.
Mr Xu said: “Water can not be withdrawn from the reservoir, and rivers are dried.
“The drought should be so bad in the city as people in town rely on the river’s water.
“I think heavy rain won’t come soon.”
Over eight million people live in Ningbo which is a large industrial hub for China.
The drone footage showed outlines in the mud of a village that was underwater for over 40 years.
But it is not the only village to have recently emerged in China.
Many visit the site as the city is preserved well and has been compared to a “real-life Atlantis”.
The city and is over a thousand years old and is 131 feet underwater.
Sadly, over 300,000 people were displaced by the Chinese Government’s decision to flood the area.
The city is so vast that it has not been fully mapped out yet.
