Houtouwan, China
Houtouwan, an abandoned fishing village on Shengshan Island near Shanghai, has become a unique attraction. Instead of being in ruins, the village is now covered in lush vegetation and creeping ivy, creating a stunning green landscape. Although most residents moved away in the 1990s, some people still live on the island, selling water to curious tourists and photographers who come to explore this captivating village.

Great Train Graveyard, Bolivia
Uuni, Bolivia is famous for its salt flats and red lakes, but it also holds an intriguing attraction—a “cemetery” of abandoned antique trains. In the early 19th century, plans to expand the transportation network in Uyuni were halted due to technical difficulties and conflicts with the local indigenous population. The trains were later used to transport minerals, but when the minerals depleted in the 1940s, the trains were left in the desert. Over time, corrosion from salty winds created the captivating Great Train Graveyard that exists today.
