    All land in China is publicly owned, so "trespassing" isn't really a thing. The security guards are more likely to ask for a picture with you than they are to kick you out.

    Wonderland was a never completed amusement park project located in Chenzhuang Village, Nankou Town , Changping District, China, about 32 kilometres (20 mi) outside of Beijing. Originally proposed by the Thailand-based property developer Reignwood Group, and designed to be the largest amusement park in Asia (to have covered 120 acres (49 ha)), construction stopped in 1998 following financial problems with local officials, while a 2008 attempt to start construction again also failed. In wiki, it is said that this is demolished in 2013... If it is opened, it would have been a largest amusement park in Asia ..

    In case you're curious, the massive vase thing in the center of that plaza looks to be a scaled up model of an earthquake detector. Metal balls would sit precariously in the dragon's mouth, and when the detector would sense an earthquake, the ball would drop in the frog's mouth corresponding to the direction of the quake.

    I'm amazed at how nonchalant they are in China when you're trespassing. They just ask you to leave and then go on their way.
    I guess you guys didn't see half of this park. That was huge.

      I went there today, and there's basically no security, except a few stray dogs, and a couple of farmers. As for the drones, that's just BS. Tune into my channel next week to see a more in-depth exploration of this place.

    Its hard to describe art and our brains.
    If they were filming while it was still operational but just closed id never watch and be bored outa my mind.
    Strange when its all dilapidated, mossy, broken, rusted, bent, shattered, chipped, scraped, dented, crushed etc and its 1000x more appealing.
    I also love those 100+ year old abandoned buildings. They were made with such detail back then. Not its all drywall and drop ceilings.
