Pictures: `Turtle` Island appears in the spring and disappears for the rest of the year

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">ArabiaWeather.com - <strong>Turtle Island,</strong> located in southwest China, is one of the strangest islands in the world. Because it does not appear in the &quot;Modoxi&quot; River except in the spring season only, and it disappears for the rest of the year.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The Chinese call the small island the name &quot;spring turtle rising from the water&quot;, as it begins to appear above the water, when the river water drops to a level of 175 meters, and when the water reaches 145 meters, the rock becomes connected with the mainland, according to the British newspaper &quot;Daily Mail&quot;.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>The &quot;turtle&quot; island</strong> , which resembles the shape of a turtle, is considered by the Chinese as a symbol of life and longevity. Its appearance depends on the amount of floodwater that goes downstream of the &quot;Moduksi&quot; River.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The island contains turtles, pets, and green turtles. It also enjoys soft sand that is ruled by large rocks. It is also famous for diving, walking, and rock climbing. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/22_9.jpg" style="width: 768px; height: 494px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/33_8.jpg" style="width: 768px; height: 505px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/44_4.jpg" style="width: 768px; height: 491px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong style="line-height: 1.6em;">See more:</strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="http://www.arabiaweather.com/content/جزيرة-تعود-للظهور-من-تحت-البحر-بعد-أن-اختفت-قبل-اكثر-من-100-عام-بسبب-إعصار"><strong>An island reappears from under the sea after it disappeared more than 100 years ago due to a hurricane</strong></a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="http://www.arabiaweather.com/content/بالصور-شاهد-جمال-الطبيعة-في-الأزور-أكثر-الجُزر-ارتباطاً-بتحليلات-الطقس"><strong>In pictures: See the beauty of nature in the Azores..the islands most closely related to weather analyzes</strong></a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="http://www.arabiaweather.com/content/بالصور-تعرف-على-جزر-فانواتو-المذهلة-في-المحيط-الهادئ"><strong>Pictures: Learn about the amazing islands of Vanuatu in the Pacific Ocean!</strong></a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
