Chinese City Tries to Create Artificial Lake Ends Up with Sahara-Like Desert Instead
ZHENGZHOU, CHINA - MAY 19: (CHINA OUT) Workers cover mounds of sand with nets on May 19, 2014 in Zhengzhou, Henan Province of China. Zhengzhou, the capital city of north-central China's Henan Province, is currently a sandy mess. Officials wanting to create an artificial lake on the outskirts of the city have botched things up so bad that it's turned into a sprawling desert instead. The sand is everywhere ? about 10 meters high and covering an area as large as four football fields. Naturally, Zhengzhou's residents aren't pleased. (Photo by Visual China Group via Getty Images)
