Abandoned Houtouwan You find nature reclaiming an island town
Vintage village on Shengshan island fades into a lush ruin as vines cover three story homes while five residents and roaming dogs linger amid mist and sea winds. Wang Yi returns at 27 to gather honeysuckle tea and recall childhood, while Sun Ryue recalls depleted fish stocks and late 1990s fishing moratoriums. The scene underscores rural to urban migration and nature reclaiming rural China.
