not always the case and sometimes amazing places and buildings get left
behind and abandoned nowadays it's very popular

places you can actually go to in the USA to scary areas in North Korea I'm
Charlie and today we're going to look at amazing abandoned places that actually
exist but before we get into it why not subscribe and press at the notification
Beltre coming up first we have abandoned Wonderland China Once Upon a Time
Wonderland was the biggest amusement park in all of Asia or at least it
should have been it was never actually completed due to financial issues since
then the surrounding land has been used by farmers for cultivating crops but
very eerie structures still remain it kind of looks like a post-apocalyptic
Disneyland we all know China is amazing at building things but Wonderland
amusement park is not one of them it's incredibly eerie and has even been
explored by some youtubers next up is Winchester mansion USA California has a
reputation for being eccentric and extravagant well this Victorian mansion
located in the state is no exception the mansion was built by Sarah Winchester
she was the widow of the gun magnate William Wirt Winchester construction
began in 1884 and during the time Sarah was alive she said construction must
never stop she was incredibly paranoid and crazy she was also a very
superstitious woman and believed in some really crazy things
she made the builders create dead ends in the mansion
there are also traps and secret doorways and stairs that lead to nowhere from
1884 when the construction began 238 years later when she passed away
construction never stopped that's why there are so many oddities to
this gigantic mansion it's now abandoned and nobody lives there the seven story
high mansion was also damaged in the 1906 earthquake but even after the
earthquake a hundred and sixty rooms were still intact it's also
rumored to be incredibly haunted as Sarah Winchester passed away in the
house next up is Ryu cheon hotel at North Korea it may not shock you to hear
the North Korea does not have a big tourist industry very few people can
actually visit North Korea and those who do are heavily guarded
they can't just roam freely around the country they have to be escorted by a
tour guide but despite the lack of tourism construction of this hotel began
in 1987 that was when North Korea was ruled by Kim jong-il Kim jong-un's dad
the hotel is a hundred and five stories but it's just a shell inside it's
unoccupied and incomplete the hotel never actually
opened despite it being so gigantic on the Pyongyang Scylla they claim that
they stopped building it because of a lack of funds but something tells me not
too many people would want to stay in North Korea anyway North Korea was once
proud of this hotel and even put it on their stamps but nowadays the hotel is
airbrushed out of official photos they actually began construction again in
2008 but no one knows if it's still going on or if it's been cooled off
again sings it's still not open more than 12 years after 2008 I think it's
never going to open but the unfinished 30 year old hotel is still pretty creepy
next up is Christ of the abyss Italy this abandoned place is not above ground
but instead underwater it's located under the seas of sand fruits you oh so
Italy the statue is of Jesus Christ and is made of bronze it was made by Guido
Gillette II in 1954 it was placed near the first Italian scuba dive ever
happened in 2003 it was removed from the water because of corrosion and
crustaceans growing on it it was then restored except for a hand
which broke off the statue was then returned to the water with a new base in
July of 2004 coming up next we have garage number 7 Ukraine during the Cold
War the USA in the USSR went into a space race but during the space race
no UFOs or aliens were found despite this in Ukraine
there is a sorcerer this didn't come from out of space instead it's a very
scary looking a disc-shaped abandoned building inside if you won't find any
aliens instead abandoned buses that's right this is called bus garage number
seven the abandoned station is located outside of Kyiv Ukraine it was opened in
1973 but after the fall of the Soviet Union it was abandoned now a bunch of
old decaying Soviet buses are inside it and it's even being explored by a group
named urbex tool they have an awesome blog where they explore many areas in
Ukraine and Russia next up is Nara dreamland Japan abandoned Wonderland in
China is not Asia's only abandoned theme park in fact some may even say that Nora
dreamland is even more ominous this theme park was opened in 1961 but was
closed and abandoned in 2006 this is because attendance decreased after Tokyo
Disneyland was built now the spiraling rollercoasters are
very ominous it was scheduled for demolition but that hasn't happened and
now it's become overgrown and creepy next up is mini diamond mine Russia this
diamond mine is the world's second largest man-made hole
it was constructed during the Stalin years in the Soviet Union the hole is
located in eastern Siberia and was a diamond mine
however after digging too deep it became too difficult to mine anathan it closed
totally in 2004 and at this mines height it was making 600 million dollars every
year from diamond sales that's enough to buy a lot of vodka and finally on the
list let's look at battleship island Japan battleship island is an abandoned
island off the coast of Japan it resembles some kind of post-apocalyptic
war zone there's crumbling plaster and cracked concrete all over the place
after its coal mine closed in 1974 it was abandoned overnight people's shoes
and belongings still remain there as they had to leave overnight one scene of
the James Bond movie Skyfall was also set on the island
typhoon damage has also caused it to decay a lot over the years
amazingly on Google Street you can actually explore this entire island
someone has mapped it out so that you can walk around it and explore it for
yourself birds now it's time to make your voice heard vote in the poll in the
