Kowloon was once a densely populated city where lawlessness reigned. In the last year of the city's existence, 603 people lived in it on 450 square meters. The city was founded as a military outpost, but after being captured by the Japanese invaders during World War II, by 1948 Kowloon became a haven for 2,000 emigrants. Without the influence of the government and the existence of local laws that would regulate life in the city, it quickly became a crime center. Now in the city, if people live, then there are very few of them.

Kangbashi - a huge ghost town
Seeing empty streets in China already seems like something fantastic, but there is such a place here with a functioning infrastructure, but ... without people.
Kangbashi is a new city with world-class architecture, extravagant public squares, international stadiums and a sea of fresh new housing that has grown out of the barren deserts of Inner Mongolia in less than a decade. However, the most important thing is still missing here - the inhabitants.

Now it is a popular historical attraction among tourists.

Castelnuovo dei Sabbioni, Italy. The picturesque Tuscan village of Castelnuovo de Sabbioni was abandoned in the 1970s, presumably due to erosion caused by coal mines. But even earlier, the N***s set up a funeral pyre here from furniture and local residents. 78 people died in the flames. Incomprehensible pictures are still preserved on the walls of many houses: pentagrams, fish and other mysterious drawings. No one has figured out the meaning to this day.
