If you have any idea how an entire mall with German architecture got uprooted from Western Europe and plopped down onto an island in the middle of a river in the middle of a Chinese city, let me know.

Hiding behind the bridge |
When I heard that there was an abandoned mall in my new home city of Fuzhou, I needed to be there. I have no idea what happened, but today this mall is almost completely empty, save for a few people trying to make a go of running their own stores on the property, and a couple of squatters we woke up accidentally.

Fine line between looting and getting a bargain |
When you go up the broken escalators to the top, you're able to get onto the roof and even up a tower to enjoy some wonderful views of the city.

There's that bridge again! |

... and some parts are pink! |
Next time you're in Fuzhou, check this place out! Then do some parkour? Then send me the video.
