Checking in at an off-the-beaten-path travel destination in Bolivia, where trains are scattered in disarray, with a history spanning over a hundred years

After arriving at the Uyuni train cemetery, it turned out to be an unplanned trip, just waiting to see the perfect mirror of the sky these days, so I had some free time to walk around the area. Strictly speaking, this place is not considered a scenic area, but rather an open space on the outskirts of the city, where many train wrecks are scattered haphazardly on the barren yellow soil. The desert combined with the dilapidated carriages evokes the strong industrial vibe reminiscent of the scenes from the movie 'Mad Max'. Over the past few centuries, Spanish colonizers plundered a great deal of resources from this land, leaving behind only depression and broken cities. These train wrecks are remnants from that period, and after the resources were exhausted, these trains also lost their value. As the number of tourists increases, these trains have once again caught people's attention and have become a check-in spot for some visitors. The old trains are covered in graffiti, giving these century-old steel beasts a new 'life' with a very artistic flair. There's nothing else worth playing with in this place, but just these various hundred-year-old trains are enough to keep one occupied for a long time, and I really love this retro industrial vibe.
