In the summer of 1934, the coastal city of Yingkou in Liaoning Province, China, became the stage for an event that would captivate imaginations and spark debates for decades.

Amidst a backdrop of relentless rain and oppressive heat, locals reported sightings of a creature straight out of myth—a dragon. Not a metaphor or a symbol, but a flesh-and-blood being that fell from the sky, writhed in agony before its death, and left behind a skeletal mystery that drew crowds from across the region.

Was it a genuine encounter with a mythical beast, a misidentified animal, or a case of mass hysteria amplified by cultural reverence for dragons?

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they take flight Within the Mists of China to uncover the truth behind the Yingkou Dragon.
