Ghost Village of China

in ghostvillage •  7 years ago 
 The Abandoned Fishing Village of Houtouwan also known as the Ghost Village.

On Shengshan Island, east of Shanghai, China,  only a handful of people still live in a village that was once home to  more than 2,000 fishermen. Every day hundreds of tourists visit  Houtouwan, making their way on narrow footpaths past crumbling houses  overtaken by vegetation. The remote village, on one of more than 400  islands in the Shengsi archipelago, was abandoned in the early 1990s as  residents moved away, aiming to leave problems with education and food  delivery behind them.
