Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Top 10 Channel on the internet.
I am your host, Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 Scary Places
In China You Shouldn’t Visit Alone.
Shall we laugh as I try and pronounce the names of these places?!
What is the scariest place YOU have ever been alone?
Let me know!
10 - The Suicide Mall The Liwan Plaza in Guangzhour has been dubbed
the Suicide Mall because of the spate of deaths that have happened at the mall over the past
15 years.
While over a dozen of these deaths have been ruled as suicide, some people swear that a
super natural force has pushed people over the railings and into the concourse.
Weirdly the mall’s name in Chinese symbols looks a lot like the word for corpse and a
lot of locals consider the shopping centre to be cursed.
Why is it cursed, ah…well..it all boils down, like it so often does, to an ancient
burial ground.
When the mall was built, it seems that the construction team unearthed 8 empty coffins
and a Qing Dynasty sacrificial chamber.
Taoist Priests later came in to examine the site and told the developers that the coffins
were brought in to deter evil spirits and would have continued to ward off evil had
they not been disturbed….
But they were.
Now strange noises and death plague the mall….soo…probs wouldn’t fancy popping there for a spot
of solo shopping.
Often hailed as the most Dangerous Place in China – 9 we have the East Taihang Glasswalk
The bridge in the Taihang Mountain is both thrilling and terrifying.
The glass platform is 3,800 in the air and is affixed to the mountainside.
If you have vertigo, you would not be feeling so great standing on this glass bottomed walkway,
staring down into the abyss.
There are videos of people freaaaaking out hard over walking on the bridge as fear and
panic set in – but worse still, the bridge features a joke cracking effect that have
caused people to heavily freak out.
Not only that, the effect also comes with sound…and that really would get me.
A lot of people have hailed the effect as extremely cruel and dangerous, buuut china
doesn’t care!
8 - Delingha Test sites Not that you could get anywhere near it, but
Delingha county is home to a worrying nuclear test site.
12 years ago, Delingha was totally off limits to foreigners.
These days you can go there, but the bases in the northern reaches of the country are
army patrolled….
Buuut even if they werent, you really wouldn’t fancy wading in to a nuclear waste land.
There are 36 launch pads in and around Delingha.
7 - The North Korean Boarder The North Korean Boarder is a dangerous place
to be for obvious reasons and would be even scarier if you were alone.
There are some reports that the Chinese Military might be up to something over there, too.
Boarder regions are always sensitive places to be, but the river that separates China
and North Korea at Dadong is particularly so.
As a non Asian, you may encounter some issues in the area.
While the Dadong and Bridge of Friendship area is safe enough for careful tourists,
there are some parts of the china north Korea boarder which are not well defined, and accidentally
strolling into North Korean territory is a genuine risk.
6 The Lotus Pond The Lotus Pond in the University of Hong Kong
looks like a place I would love to visit – it is beautiful.
I can imagine sitting here and doing some quiet reflection.
I would probably be okay to do this, but if you are a man you shouldn’t ever come here
alone.
The pond is at the centre of a ghost story involving a lost love.
A young couple who would meet by the pond planned to run away together.
The girl arranged to meet her love by the pond at midnight and they would start their
journey, only he didn’t show up.
As she headed home, worried and devastated, she saw her boyfriend with another girl.
She burst into tears and in her anguish, she threw herself in the pond and drowned.
To this day, if a man is walking alone by the pond at midnight, he should be careful.
If he sees a girl, he shouldn’t talk to her as the story goes that the girls ghost
appears after the stroke of 12 and looks to drag men to a watery grave if they engage
with her.
5 Chaonei No.81 This terrifying building is located in Beijing
and is the centre of a lot of mysticism.
This building is sometimes known as the Chaonei Church as it is thought that it used to be
used for religious purposes before it was taken over by the communists . The house used
to be owned by a Nationalist Party officer but he fled to Taiwan, leaving his wife.
She in turn hung herself in the house and her screams are said to be heard wailing out
to this day.
To this day, the house, which is supposed to be prime real estate, is abandoned and
overgrown with Ivy.
Some say that a number of those who have entered the house have not left….
Sooo I am guessing you absolutely don’t want to go here alone!
This scary house was the setting for a Chinese horror film in 2014 called The House That
Never Dies….
Rightio then.
4 - The Tomb of Qin Shi Huang The tomb of the former Chinese Emperor, Quin
Shi Haung, was discovered when the Terricotta army was unearthed.
The Emperor was largely considered to be the first Emperor of China, having unified 6 fighting
states.
His death in 210 BC was a big deal, and he entered the afterlife with terracotta replicas
of his army, his horses, his family and his servants.
The terracotta army was discovered in 1974 in Xi’an, and is a pretty special if eerie
place.
The thing is – the actual mausoleum – the burial chamber of the Emperor is out of bounds.
The Chinese government simply will not let you in.
Excavations are banned and if you were caught there, you’d have the answer to armed guards.
Beyond that, who knows what spooks lay in wait.
It is said the earth near the tomb is booby trapped.
Also, we all know what happened when the Egyptian tombs were opened.
You don’t want to be dealing with that pestilence.
Especially not alone.
3 - Subway Line 1 In Beijing, I would be pretty terrified to
ride Subway Line 1 alone.
The Line was the first constructed in 1965 and its build was fraught with accidents including
broken equipment and injury or deaths to workers.
It seems that the original build disturbed souls whose graves were disturbed as construction
was taking place.
As a result, monks were brought in to pacify the spirits.
The monks promised the spirits that the metro would close before 11pm as it is said the
dead like to rest between 11 and 1am.
Riiight.
Was that the governments way of taking night trains off the menu?
To add spookiness to an already potentially haunted situation - There are 4 ghost stations
on Subway Line 1, two of which are located in the Military region.
An abandoned station on a haunted train line?
Rather you than me, mate.
2 - Forbidden City China’s Forbidden city is said to be deeply
haunted.
The Forbidden city is an imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing dynasty.
The world heritage landmark gets its name from a time when public entrance was forbidden
except for members of the imperial family.
The complex has seen some ghastly things over the years, including numerous executions and
murders.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has slowly been opening up to visitors and now 75 percent
of it is available for viewing, however there are still some secret rooms and courtyards
you are not allowed to visit.
The chances of you being alone in the day in the city are pretty slim seeing as around
16 million people visit annually, but at night….well…that is a scarier time.
Night staff have reported some terrifying things including strange animals, ghost dogs,
a menacing presence and a weeping woman in white.
I really…really wouldn’t fancy being alone here at night.
1 - The Gobi Desert The Gobi Desert borders China and Mongolia
and is not a place to be visited solo.
Aside from deserts being stressful places for solo trips anyway because of the harsh
elements and the isolation, this desert in particular is said to be home to the legendary
Mongolian Death Worm.
The Mongolian Death Worm first came to light in the west when explorer and naturalist Roy
Chapman Andrews wrote about his expedition into the Gobi Desert in 1926 – it is said
to be between two to five feet long – so up to 1.5 metres.
It is supposed to be shaped like a sausage with neither a head or a tail and is poisonous
that touching it would cause instant death.
Not only that, some accounts saying that the worm spews deadly sulphuric acid and emits
a similarly deadly electrical charge.
Venturing into a desert on your own is a bad idea, but how would you face the Mongolian
death worm solo?
SO that was the Top 10 Scary Places In China You Shouldn’t Visit Alone!

Comments: Kerry Ann said: I'm a pretty tough cookie
and dont scare easy... but I could never ever do a ouija board!
No chance!
It really scares me.?
Recording My Reacting Said: I love your videos!
Me and my sister love your videos, we make it our top priority to watch them every Friday!
Your videos are so interesting and gave me some good stories for Halloween.
Keep up the good work!?
Delaney Zadin said: I’ve never used an ouija board but I do have a creepy story about one.
I was living in Sweden and I got a Skype call from my mom, she said there was a package
for me addressed to my US address.
She asked if I had ordered anything.
I hadn’t ordered anything so I asked her to open it and show me what it was.
It was a themed ouija board.
There as no return address, both me and my mom were freaked out and I thought maybe a
friend had sent it to me for Christmas.
Nope.
None of my friends had sent me an ouija board.
We didn’t know where it came from, or who sent it.
I never used it because I’ve heard stories of things happening, so it sat in a drawer
for 4 years until I recently gave it away to another friend of mine who actually wanted
it.?
