21 Historic Olympic Venues That Are Now Completely Abandoned

18. The Equestrian Venue – Beijing 2008 (China)

Equestrian events require specialized facilities, and Beijing’s venue was top-notch—until it wasn’t needed anymore. Unlike other abandoned stadiums, this one has a strangely dystopian feel: the stables are empty, the once-lush greenery has withered, and the jumps and obstacles are frozen in time, as if waiting for riders who will never return. Horses once soared over its barriers, but now only the wind moves through this eerie, forgotten place.
