The landscapes of this village are more reminiscent of scenery for fantasy films than a real place. Just some 50 years ago, it was a thriving village, and now the houses are completely covered with tenacious vines of green ivy. Nature very quickly extended its domain to what was once built by man.
There is a village at the mouth of the Yangtze River off the east coast of China in the Zhoushan archipelago Houtou wan … Previously, it was a clear example of a flourishing fishing industry, but now it is only buildings covered with a carpet of green plants.
Due to the total urbanization and rapid economic growth of the country, the villagers in just half a century almost completely moved to the cities and took up a completely different craft than their ancestors. Today in the settlement you can find only a few old-timers who refused to leave their place of birth, and tourists wandering in search of the best angle for shooting.
This village is not the only abandoned place. Overview 30 ghost towns will clearly demonstrate how quickly everything decays without direct human participation.
