Chinese village with 39 sets of twins can't explain how it has so many
Could there be something in the water in this remote Chinese village?
Jiangjin village in Chongqin, China, started making headlines after it was recently discovered that the village has a rather high number of twins.
Out of the 367 families living in the village, there's a total of 39 sets of twins, with the oldest aged 89, and the youngest at nine months old.

Apparently, the "twin phenomenon" in Jiangjin is not exclusive to just its humans -- the village's chickens have also been laying double yolk eggs.
Although locals remain baffled as to why their village has a "twin phenomenon," doctors have said that this could be due to women these days having easier access to fertility drugs and treatments than before.
In Chinese culture, twins are seen as a blessing of good luck and fortune, especially if the set of twins is a dragon-phoenix (boy and girl) pair.
