Designed to be China’s answer to Disneyland, Wonderland Amusement Park was an ambitious project that never came to fruition. Located just outside Beijing, this massive fairytale-style park was abandoned in the late 1990s due to financial issues. For years, its skeletal castle and half-constructed structures stood eerily against the sky, surrounded by farmland. Urban explorers and photographers captured its haunting beauty before the site was demolished in 2013. Though it never welcomed a single visitor, its unfinished remains symbolized the perils of unchecked ambition.
