Wonder what's in the mine...Will there be monsters???

NOW The vegetation was damaged to a higher degree and the mountain was bare.

5 YEARS Remove debris and strengthen the mountain through vegetation restoration and internal support. Hotels and viewing platforms are built at mountain breaks.

20 YEARS The fault in the mountain continued to be dug down and more warehouses were built. More hotel rooms, exhibition halls and other buildings are built up the fault of the mountains.

The house is so old...Hope they won't collapse...

These houses look so dated!! I wonder if there are any old things in the house...

CULTURAL SQUARE The boundary of the city square is a patchwork of landscape walls, either blank or carved, that show the history of New York and Central Park. In the center of the square, apart from some cultural sketches, a large area of open space is reserved for open-air exhibitions or for people to hold activities. On both sides of the square are museums and art galleries.
