These abandoned locations have been reclaimed by Mother Nature​

The power of Nature massively surpasses any man-made structure. It may have taken years, but Mother Nature has reclaimed these abandoned places that were once used by humans for all sorts of reasons. From China to Ukraine, different species of fauna and flora have taken over these locations, turning some of them into tourist attractions.

Shengsi Islands, China​

This archipelago is made up of 400 islands, of which only 17 are non-inhabitable. Among them, you'll find the island of Gouqi.

This island used to be home to many fishermen but it's now abandoned.

The city had several houses that have been completely taken over by Mother Nature.

Even though all the neighboring islands are still being used for fishing purposes, Gouqi seems to have stopped in time.

It's currently visited by photographers who found a dreamy landscape to explore.

Nature is a bitch. If I don't manscape every week, my cock hair and balls hair will go on a riot.

Because they're in the middle of the desert, the houses have been 'invaded' by sand, and the wind has eroded most of the structures.
