Ordos Kangbashi boasts some of the most stunning architecture in the world. It's also one of the world's largest ghost towns. In the early part of the 2,000's the Chinese government invested over a billion-dollar into the city, which was a planned utopia with cutting edge buildings and technology. Unfortunately, a downturn in the economy made the city unaffordable and there weren't enough residents to sustain the city. Those that did move in eventually moved away.

Today Machu Picchu is on the bucket list of dream trips for many travelers, but there was a time it was an Incan city spanning over five miles. Historians believe it was a religious or royal site but the city's origins are largely mysterious. Machu Picchu was abandoned in the early 1500s around the time the Spanish Conquistadors. Since archeologists haven't discovered evidence the area was attacked, many speculate the population could have been wiped out by a smallpox epidemic.
