Summer Travel :: Scary Places :: Disgraceland

:: This is part of a series we are doing on spooky places to spend your summer vacation::

Why go to your local theme park this summer when you could visit somewhere really spooky. Check out Disgraceland. Disgraceland as the author calls it is really The World Landscape Park. It's located in Xi Pu, just west of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in the People's Republic of China. The neat thing about this place is that it has been abonded for quite some time. Oh did I mention the homeless children that play there?

Apparently a business venture gone bad. What's left is like exporing the rotting reamins of Disneyland. The author explains that you can basically go anywhere you want in the Park. From inside the remains of the exhibits to the bottom of the once full water attractions. Pretty cool. And this isn't your normal theme park this is the The World Landscape Park. So each area represtns (or tries to) a differnet area of the World according to China. Everything from the great pyramids to Polar town (??). And of course there are plenty of interesting other parts of the park that visitors were never meant to see, but now the doors are unlocked and you can wander freely. The author has some great photos of it all as well.
