Holidaymakers crowd a swimming pool, also known as "China's Dead Sea", on a scorching day in Daying county, Suining city, southwest China's Sichuan province, 17 July 2016. There's strictly no diving and not a hope of doing any lengths, but the crowded conditions have not put off thousands of people from heading to this giant Chinese swimming pool. The saltwater pool, known as China's 'Dead Sea' is located in Daying county, Sichuan province, and was a riot of colour as the masses grabbed their rubber rings and descended upon it. The indoor water park is said to be the largest in China and covers 30, 000 square meters. It can accommodate up to ten thousand visitors at once and over a million people have visited the resort this summer, claim the operators. The man-made 'sea' was created using rich salt resources in the region and contains 43 different minerals and microelements.
