Plants grow on houses in the abandoned fishing
village of Houtouwan on the island of Shengshan, east of Shanghai, on
July 26, 2015. Just a handful of people still live in a village on
Shengshan Island that was once home to more than 2,000 fishermen. The
remote village, on one of more than 400 islands in the Shengsi
archipelago, was abandoned in the early 1990s as first wealthy residents
then others moved away, aiming to leave problems with education and
food delivery behind them.
The wreckage of a van is overgrown by plants in
Simacem village in North Sumatra, Indonesia, on November 16, 2015. The
village was abandoned following the eruption of Mount Sinabung as it was
considered too close to the still-rumbling volcano.#
