Welcome to China’s Magic Kingdom called Wonderland.

Goldfield used to be the biggest city in the state of Nevada with 30,000 citizens in 1904. It was a mining boomtown, but the gold mines started to run out by 1920s. And the fire of 1923 destroyed most of Goldfield’s wooden buildings. Nowadays this semi-ghost town is still populated with about 400 people. Most of the buildings are empty, including the abandoned High School of Goldfield.

Creepy as they are, no wonder these abandoned resorts got abandoned. However, with approaching, it would be great to have a Halloween party in one of them.

These are the ruins of an abandoned hotel in Greece. It is located at a place that resembles a paradise overlooking the ocean but has been vacant for several years and will unlikely have any visitors in the near future.

There is something depressing about seeing an abandoned amusement park and roller coaster. A place that was previously filled with such joy and excitement now sits decrepit and sad, but yet there is also beauty within these images. It is a great place to film a horror flick.

According to preliminary estimates by the United Nations, there are more than 3 million vessels shipwrecked in the world today. These once-majestic ships, which today lie on the seabed or are on the coast, are a reminder that nothing in this world lasts forever.

This trendy home was once a cement factory. The abandoned cement factory was discovered in 1973 and converted to this upscale home by architect Ricardo Bofill. The renovation took two years. The home contains various plants including cypresses, olive trees, palms, and eucalyptus. It serves as Bofillo’s apartment, exhibition space, model laboratory, archives, and architectural office. His renovation included exposing previously concealed structures, cleaning cement and demolishing some structures.

This abandoned Prada store with solar panels on the roof is located on a desolate highway 90 in West Texas. It was built as a piece of art and promotional stunt by Scandinavian designers Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset who spent over $80,000 on it. The solar panels generated electricity during the day and at night this boutique’s show-window shined like a rainbow. Sadly, this project didn’t survive the time, because its walls were soon painted with graffiti, windows were broken and shoes were stolen. The funniest thing is that those shoes could only suit people with disabilities, because all of them were “right” foot shoes.

All these pictures were taken by ordinary travelers who stopped in the middle of the field on their way to the Crimea and took a free tour around this airfield. No military. No guards. Completely abandoned.
