Chinese river now unfortunately looks like a bright-green highway
At this point, we should probably be used to Chinese rivers tuing weird colors and or being full of weird things. (Red Yangtze, anyone? Or perhaps waterways choked with dead ducks or pigs?) Here at last: the perfect combination of the two phenomena.
A thick coat of water lettuce, an aquatic plant, has tued the Jingang River into a living optical illusion, with a coat of green vegetation hiding its watery surface. The hypergrowth of the water lettuce was due to a river jam upstream in June; a quarter-mile of the Jingang is now covered by the dense green growth. [Source]
