“Mysterious underwater animals again made themselves felt in the picturesque Chinese lake Tianchi (Heavenly), which is located in the remote Changbai mountain range on the border with the DPRK. Recently, several Chinese and Korean tourists have seen the silhouettes of mysterious monsters at the surface here."
The average speed of the monsters in the water was about four kilometers per hour, the distance from the coast was no more than 50 meters, which made it possible to properly examine the lake monsters until they disappeared into the water column. Eyewitnesses say that the monsters drove in front of them a wave almost two meters high. From which it was concluded that there was an incredible mass of strangers.
“According to eyewitnesses, they frolicked at a great distance from the coast. This did not allow us to properly examine the objects, and in the photographs they appeared as dark spots."
A few days later, Zhuo Yongsheng, director of the news center for a local TV company set up by the Changbai Sanctuary Authority, managed to capture a 20-minute video of six unknown animals swimming in the lake.
“The footage of this video has been posted on the Internet. One of them shows the heads of creatures swimming in parallel courses in three rows. Another shot shows two animals diving, leaving behind circular waves."
“I climbed the southern slopes of the mountain with two local guides at roughly five in the morning on Thursday. I was hoping to capture the sunrise, but it was cloudy and there was no sunrise in sight,”says Zhuo Yongsheng. - At 5:26 in the morning, Lake Tianchi, located at the foot of the mountain, became very visible. At that moment, one of the guides suddenly shouted, pointing to the lake that a large stone had fallen into the water from nowhere."
Zhuo Yongsheng aimed his camera at the lake and saw first one moving large black object, and then five more objects emerging from the depths.
“The journalist says that he was able to observe six creatures, something like seals, swimming in the lake for almost an hour and a half. They swam as fast as boats, at times they disappeared under water. It was very impressive that sometimes they swam at the same speed, as if someone was giving them commands, says Zhuo. "Their fins, or maybe wings, were longer than their bodies."

Rumors that some unknown animals live in Lake Tianchi have been circulating in the area for many years. Scientists do not believe them, claiming that the lake is too cold for any large creatures to live in it.
At the same time, two years ago another Chinese tourist who came to the lake was also lucky enough to see and film a mysterious monster. As in the case of Zhuo Yongsheng, 52-year-old Zheng Chenchun climbed the mountain and on the surface of the water surface saw the "Tianchin plesiosaur."
If you believe the stories of eyewitnesses, animals living in Heavenly have a head like a cow's and a neck more than a meter long. Once the local hunter Biao Longchi even ambushed them on the lake shore. As soon as the head of the monster appeared above the surface of the water, he shot it several times in a row. According to Biao, several bullets bounced off the beast's head without causing any harm.
Professional photographer Wang Ying, who was in a group of tourists, managed to shoot four Tianchin monsters with a video camera three years ago. The collective swim of creatures unknown to science was observed by more than two hundred tourists, who unanimously claimed that they had never seen anything like it before.
The average speed of the monsters in the water was about four kilometers per hour, the distance from the coast was no more than 50 meters, which made it possible to properly examine the lake monsters until they disappeared into the water column. Eyewitnesses say that the monsters drove in front of them a wave almost two meters high. From which it was concluded that there was an incredible mass of strangers.
According to a senior Chinese official, Kim Taik, he also saw a light-headed monster in the lake, which appeared on the water surface at 15:25 and swam from north to southwest at the speed of a walking man for 10 minutes. When submerged, he raised an approximately two-meter wave.
But all this is a wonder only for tourists. And the locals are already accustomed to the mysterious inhabitants of the lake, who, as the old people assure, live in Heavenly for a relatively short time. Many cryptozoologists agree with them, referring to the "childhood" age of the lake. According to the data available to Chinese researchers, Tianchi was formed in the crater of the Baitoushan volcano, which last woke up in 1702. From this it follows that "Tianchin plesiosaurs" live in the lake for a maximum of 305 years. But how they appeared in the lake is another question, to which there is no answer yet.
Heavenly Lake is located at an altitude of 2189 meters above sea level and is considered the highest volcanic lake in the world. Its depth is 373 meters.
The authorities of Jilin province, where the lake is located, have created a special commission, whose task is to collect evidence of the local wonder of the world.
