Although the entire town is abandoned, most of the houses are still intact and have not collapsed. Let's take a look at the details and the items left behind in the town.

We found an account book in a yard. The information showed that this town once served the No. 3 Salt Chemical Plant, and the earliest record in the account was in 1983, which means that this town has existed for at least nearly 40 years.

At the same time, we also found a calendar with the date recorded in January 2010, indicating that this town should have been abandoned no more than 10 years ago.

At this point, we found that the supporting facilities in the town are still very complete, including cinemas, shops, entertainment rooms, classrooms, etc. We guessed that the town should be a residential area where the salt mining plant used to be. It was later relocated and abandoned due to depletion of resources or other reasons. With today's status.

This town was an unexpected discovery for us, but its geographical location is also quite special and not easy to find. The buildings in the town are relatively well preserved, and there are traces of previous life inside. Friends who like ruins can come and explore!
