Chinese buildings have a strange way of being abandoned and never taken down until its necessary. Usually people also come and take everything they can out of them while they are abandoned. In a well tucked away school in Chang Shou, many tables and things are still sitting around inside a building that has been devoid of activity for years. Kind of strange, usually tables and glass are carted away by scavengers, but in this place, a lot of the stuff was still around. In this one classroom there was a desk, stool, and even the blackboard had the last days lessons on it.

Some friends and I broke open a classroom window frame so we could get into the building to take some nice black and white photos. There were 5 floors of stuff to look at, including one nasty looking room full of chemicals that we decided to stay out of, and a old roll of film on the ground that showed some sort of school festival from a time before. So yeah, and just to add that "go figure" stuff, after we found our way around we discovered the front gate and door to the place was wide open...go figure.
