These photos illustrate what can happen in a water park in a country with over a billion people. There's strictly no diving and not a hope of doing any lengths, but the crowded conditions have not put off over a million 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 yesterday. The indoor water park is said to be the largest in China and covers 30,000 square meters.
Due to its salinity of over 22 per cent, swimmers float freely on the surface much as they do in the Dead Sea in the Middle East. If you don't fancy a dip, the resort also offers a Spa centre, a golf course and even on-site cheerleaders.
