IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS SWALLOWED UP BY NATURE. Vines are creeping up the walls, windows, doors, around staircases, and inside houses.

Gouqi Island — one of the 400 islands of the archipelago of Shengsi, located east of China’s Zhejiang province — is home to an abandoned fishing village that has been reclaimed by Mother Earth.

What used to be, according to the Dailymail, a “fishing hub” is now left empty and neglected by those who moved to the mainland to fill their financial needs.
