In what could be a parable for China’s contradictory future paths, about 45 minutes from Beijing lies an eerily deserted themepark called “Wonderland.”
Construction stopped more than a decade ago, with developers promoting it as ”˜the largest amusement park in Asia’. Funds were withdrawn due to disagreements over property prices with the local government and farmers. So what is left are the skeletal remains of a palace, a castle, and the steel beams of what could have been an indoor playground in the middle of a corn field.
The pictures show just how creepy this place must be. See them and the whole article at Reuters.
