Be prepared before you visit Chongqing, China!!!

Chongqing, China!!!

.

It’s a 3D magical vertical jungle forest high skyline city

You may take the elevator to 10th floor and find a big road when you comes out,

You may walk into a building and want to go to 8th floor, but the elevator goes down!

The parking lot at the 5th or 6th floor is nothing special…

The scene in the Japanese movie “Spirited Away” is real in Chongqing, China

and it’s even more surrealistic

The transportation in Chongqing, China is like riding a roller coaster,

The slope and ramp angle is big, that you may feel your heart beats faster as dying when you take a trip

It only happens in Chongqing, China, that light rail enters into a building.

The local inhabitants take an elevator to there flat when they get down from the rial!!!

The rails pass your head, it’s normal here~~~

There are many layers of the flyover roads, does a google map helps?

No, you don’t know which floor you should drive if you are a foreigner….

You may think you are living at the 1st floor, but there are more than ten floors under your feet. Seriously!

Ordos, China - A ''Modern Ghost Town''

Meant as home for one million people, the Kangbashi district remains nearly empty five years after construction began in 2010.

All Quiet
The Kangbashi district began as a public-works project in Ordos, a wealthy coal-mining town in Inner Mongolia. The area is filled with office towers, administrative centers, government buildings, museums, theaters and sports fields—not to mention acre on acre of subdivisions overflowing with middle-class duplexes and bungalows. The only problem: the district was originally designed to house, support and entertain 1 million people, yet hardly anyone lives there.

Empty
Though many of the properties in Kangbashi have been sold and a million people were projected to be living in Kangbashi by 2010, the city is still empty.

Not for the faint hearted, this attraction will stay with you forever. The solemn, chilly air can get to pretty much anyone, If it doesn’t get to you, you might be one of the slinking trespassers that so often creep out of the various hidey holes leading to this mass grave.

Recommended Visit: Warning before you go.

The Catacombs (Paris): The Parisian catacombs are a giant ossuary and cemetary that are located beneath that city’s streets. There are approximately 6 million bodies put to rest in the catacombs. There is a city of the dead waiting to be explored beneath the city of lights.



The Mütter Museum (Pennsylvania): The Mütter Museum is an institution dedicated to medical anomalies. It houses organs, bones, fetuses and statues that’ll leave you with chills. Its medical oddities, anatomical and pathological specimens, wax models, and antique medical equipment are world-famous.

(Photograph can be too disturbing, you can have a look at the website if you wish to. Home | The Mütter Museum)

The Door to Hell (Turkmenistan): This was once a gas field, but the Soviets set it on fire. Now, it has been burning for over 40 years. It seems that the dangerous pit of fire will never stop burning.
