12 Most Incredible Places That Really Exist

we all know what a standard city or town looks like rows and rows of offices apartment buildings and shops that look pretty much the same from one place to the next not everywhere is like that though cast your eyes a little further afield and you'll find crazy places that look like something from the outer reaches of your imagination whether they've occurred naturally or been built by design geniuses this video contains the most incredible locations in the world who tawan in China was abandoned by human beings years ago but that doesn't mean that no life exists here quite the opposite this old fishing village might just be the greenest place in the whole world when humanity stepped out nature stepped in and said about the work of reclaiming the land for itself it's only 40 miles from Shanghai but looks like it belongs to a different universe when the 2000 fishermen who once lived here departed they left many of their own personal possessions behind and those possessions are still here inside the crumbling houses it's just that the houses are now coated with thick vegetation now the village has found a second life as a tourist attraction and many of the tour guides are the very same people who used to fish here if we asked you what the entrance to hell look like you'd probably picture somewhere very hot ask an Austrian though and they'll tell you it's through an ice cave below the whole kögel mountain near Salzburg in their home country the cave is called ice a Dyson belt which translates into English as the world of the ice giants you can see just by looking at it why the Austrians of old must have imagined giant ice creatures lived here unusual formations like this occur when ice builds up underneath an existing cave that's already been formed from limestone or lava superstitious locals avoided the area for years because of the rumor that it was a portal to Hell but a brave Explorer called Anton Poe soult finally entered it in 1879 he didn't find the devil waiting for him just some amazing scenery now around a quarter of a million people come to see it every year making the journey by cable car on Macomb vaping Way beach in Zanzibar Tanzania you'll find a restaurant like no other the beach is a sight worth seeing in its own right the sand is almost white and the water which laps the shore is a crystal-clear shade of blue it's the restaurant that's the star attraction though it's called the rock and it used to be a hut for fishermen when the tide is out you can see how it got its name it's just a wooden shack sat on top of a rugged set of boulders when the tide comes in though it completely cuts the rock off from the land leaving it floating above the water and surrounded on all sides that's why visitors sometimes have to come by boat once inside the tiny 12-seat restaurant diners are treated to a breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean while they enjoy exotic cocktails and choose their courses from a global menu best of all a portion of the profits made by the restaurant go back into supporting the local community the Burning Man festival isn't so much a place as a happening it's a festival of a radical expression and it's been happening since June 1986 when two friends named Larry Harvey and Jerry James built a giant effigy to the human form and burned it on the beach in San Francisco now it's an annual celebration of art diversity and culture which happens from the last Sunday in August to the first Monday of September every year in the middle of Nevada's Black Rock Desert when the people arrive it

gigantic project almost as gigantic as the hands themselves but no damage was caused to the ancient cliffs around it in the process of the building work flowerbeds have been planted along the bridge to make it look prettier but it's the panoramic view of Viet Nam's Hills that truly catches the eye this stunning sight isn't one to visit if you're scared of heights it's the veiling elevator in China and at over a thousand feet high it's the tallest outdoor lift anywhere on the planet climbing aboard the elevator allows you an up-close and personal look at the all natural sandstone pillars which shoot up from the forests of zhangjiajie national forest park in Hunan if you've ever seen the movie Avatar they might look a little familiar they were the inspiration for the floating hallelujah mountains the pillars alone stand 3000 feet tall so factor in the elevator on top of them and here almost in the sky despite the height the three elevator cars which operate here can make the journey from the bottom to the top in only 90 seconds the lifts were introduced to alleviate the damage caused by thousands of people walking up the mountain trails each year now they can do

the slopes of the minovsky volcano and you'll find a freezing cold cave packed full of ice and displaying every color of the rainbow the rainbow effect is all down to the way the light reflects off the icy walls as it beams through the entrance to the cave all of the ice here is melting thanks to the proximity of the volcano and in the event of a full eruption the cave can even be completely destroyed as it was in 2000 when Bhootnath ski last erupted even if it does though nature will reassert its will and a brand new cave with just as much beauty will be formed the cave is positioned low on the mountain slope so even inexperienced climbers should have no difficulty accessing it you can even take in the sights of the Vulcania River on your way [Music] what's worse than being stuck inside a haunted house well how about being stuck inside a haunted house that's full of terrifying robotic monsters travel to Berlin Germany and book yourself a tour of the famous monster cabinet and you might just get the scare of a lifetime don't say we didn't warn you the strangely named dead pigeon collective are the artists who have put the whole thing together they took a disused warehouse and filled it with a mixture of art from your worst nightmares and performers and costumes whose job it is to terrify you which of the exhibits are just sculptures which of them might jump out at you in any given moment you have no way of knowing even if you don't have arachnophobia there's something deeply unsettling about being chased around in the dark by a robotic spider and that's just one of the horrors that await you the monster cabinet is open on Thursdays and Fridays all year round but be warned some of the scares on offer aren't listed on the website they like to surprise you Sedlec ossuary in the Czech Republic looks like a beautifully detailed gothic Church until you get a little closer to it and realize that the builders chose a strange material to build it out of everything here is made out of bone not just any old bones either they are all human bones nobody knows for sure how many complete skeletons there are here conservative estimates say it's 40,000 but some say it might be as many as 70,000 for obvious reasons it goes by the nickname of the bone church and its centerpiece is a ghoulish chandelier which has been made using every bone the human body has to offer the story of Sedlec ossuary dates back to the 13th century when the abbot of the monastery scattered soil from Jerusalem on the land that made it the most desirable place to be buried anywhere in the region but there was only so much room for the bones to go by 1870 it was at capacity so a local wood carver was hired to perform the unusual task of turning the excess bones into art they are all bleached to give them a uniform appearance and then arranged into drapes crests candleholders and furniture of all kinds you can't cross the rock Hut's Broca Devil's Bridge in chrome law Park in Germany anymore but you can still go to visit it and marvel at the way it seems to form a perfect circle as it meets the water the surrounding area of chrome Lao is green and pretty anyway making it a fine location for a day trip but the bridge is the icing on the cake the bridge was built in 1860 stretching over the rock Otzi and a thin twisted style that was popular with architects of the time it gained the nickname of The Devil's Bridge because locals thought it was so unsafe and seemingly so unnatural in design that satanic hands must have built it they might have a point it looks fantastic but it was never much use as a bridge thin spires of rock secured it to the banks and the curve was specifically designed to give the circular effect in achieving the desired aesthetic the builders sacrificed a lot of the functionality before long it became apparent that walking across it was just too dangerous and now visitors are banned from doing so in case it collapses we tend to associate the French with fine art and it appears their aesthetic talents extend to the way in which they present their gardens nowhere in the world will you find a more magnificent and well-tended garden than the Chateau de marchi isaque envisage the house and gardens were constructed during the 17th century by one of king louis xiv councillors on a carefully selected piece of land which overlooked the stunning Dordogne valley it wasn't until julian dick Harville took ownership of the property in 1860 that the gardens began to take on their unique appearance though de Kerrville planted boxwood trees on his land and carefully planned patterns and trimmed them into unusual shapes today there are over 150,000 of them with the smaller rounded ones looking like a huge flock of green sheep from a distance three miles of paths were laid out winding between the trees offering visitors of a spoke tour of the land sadly things fell into disrepair during the 20th century but a restoration project in 1996 restored their beauty and also added a cascading water feature and rosemary alley as finishing touches Italy's Park of Monsters looks like a quaint tourist attraction but there's actually a sad story behind it the Garden of terrifying sculptures in bull marzo was originally a testament to one man's unbearable grief Prince Pierre Francesco Orsini was the man in question and he'd had a difficult few years he'd fought in a war lost his best friend during that war been held hostage and then returned home to find his wife sick and dying after she passed away in 1552 he commissioned the building of a series of screaming sculptures from a local artist all of which were designed to shock the unearthly creatures here include an elephant of war a gigantic fish head two giants fighting hand to hand and a huge screaming face upon which is written there is no logic only after Salvador Dali visited it in the 20th century and declared it as a work of surrealist Beauty did people begin to see it in a new light now it's a quirky tourist attraction you can even have a picnic inside the mouth of the screaming face where a table and chairs have been laid out just for the occasion
