In this episode I'm exploring in China with Edwin, Robin and Andy.
We explore a massive abandoned power plant, which got built in 1958, decommissioned in 2012 and totally abandoned in 2014. Although it's abandoned for a decade, everything is still like it got left abandoned. No theft or vandalism.

Your channel is my favorite UE channel. No weird atmospheric music, no weird sound effects, no existential musings about consumerism and progress. Just top notch abandoned locations with great footage and cool companions. I'm not bashing the other UE channels, I do subscribe and watch Proper people and Broken window theory but their content doesn't entertain and inform me like yours does.
I am requesting another trip with Ester and Elina(sp?).
Thanks a lot Frank! I invest a lot of time in research (new places nobody has been) But I wish I had a fixed crew and had more time on locations.. maybe one day! I should go on a trip with Elaina soon😇
Each to his own of course. I get quickly annoyed from excessive meaningless chatting, not only on youtube channels but in real life as well. The best channels for me are those that leave the talk to the bare minimum and just record the sounds so best catch the atmosphere of the place. I watch this channel for the amazing locations but to be honest I generally mute the sound and have some atmospheric music playing in stead.
@@Swalkerfilm I think it's not needed to mute, I barely talk in most episodes.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Please ignore my comment, I was not in a good mood.
No graffitis on the walls, no vandalism of any sort, the keys are at their place, many goods such as solar panels are stored and no one stealing. That's really different from the reality of any ocidental country.
因为中国人非法闯入会蹲监狱，但外国人闯入可能就没事。独裁国家的法律总对外国人优待
@@nk-nt9bg Breaking in someone's property is a crime everywhere in the world. The fact is that chinese people seem to don't act as wild animals stealing stuff from these abandoned sites, detroying things and crapping on the floor just because there's no one around. If there's a law for it, good for the chinese.
@@nk-nt9bg you always get your point

Woooo, how much I love industrial places😍 It is awesome that this power station is so huge but everything is still left and intact! Beautiful place with nice details. At 4:30, the scene is super cool😎 I hope somebody made a picture of you, Bob, up there!
Thanks Andrea! We made a group shot there :)
❤
Translation of slogan: Improve the inspection and operation management of the equipment; ensure the safe operation and economic operation of the unit🎉
I love how untouched everything is.
Until he pulls the door off that cabinet...
It is located on an island. Things are easily managed.
9:00 I think there is a mistake in the on-screen text: "INLET STEAM TEMP: 5835°C" Steel would melt at that temperature. The temperature written on the plate is 535°C. An extra "8" found its way in there 😉
Ooooo 😓😓my mistake😂
I really like the glass on the generator.
Yes, amazing turbines!!
truly an incredible find. loved how everything was in such a great state of preservation. 👍👍
Yes, amazing.always love it when there’s a decayed location where time stood still, but of course you know already😇
Did you visit the site of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake? The entire town was evacuated and left in place.
Yes, I know it, but China is too big…I have to return for that area (and other areas)😌
Man that place was awesome. Power plants are my all time favorite. Thanks Bob!
Glad you enjoyed! This was a cool one😎 Unfortunately I didn’t film most of my power station visits.
Awesome. So nice that everything is pristine and not vandalised.
vandalism won't happen in China.
It's refreshing to see a place with zero vandalism or scrapped.
Check more episodes on this channel! Most places I visit are in this shape😄
Great explore, it's amazing that lots of old sites still exist in good condition in China.
Yeah, great country to explore!
Great location in the future for a movie shoot. Best to preserve places like this.
Great video Bob loved that, massive place brilliant video thanks for sharing 👍❤
Thanks for joining the premiere again :)
4:31 Translation of slogan: Improve the inspection and operation management of the equipment; ensure the safe operation and economic operation of the unit.
You guys are so brave! Wow! 🎉
Thanks for checking out! This was quite an easy explore compared to some other missions :)
I can’t believe you pulled this off! Well done Bob! 😎👍
This is an industrial enterprise outside Shanghai. Enterprises in the centre of Shanghai, such as cement factories, granaries and docks, have been transformed into industrial heritage parks
Nice bro, super intact
20:24 Collector's item right there. Reckon it be a decade resistance box.
Scrappers in the US are drooling at this vid.
Haha in the US you can find these too🤭🤐
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath shhhh! 😉
Very very very cool!
Thanks a million Fran!
fantastic old school steam
It is.. something also which is disappearing:( nowadays it’s a lcd screen connected to a square box😂
I am bingewatching al your videos amazing love it
Thanks hope you like them😇🤩There are some really crazy episodes
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath yeah its very nice
Nice to see a cool piece of history without the vandalism and tagging 👍
really cool that there are crazy explorers in China also! great vid!
Yes, there’s also a community😎 thanks Arthur. Glad you liked it.
killer video bob! love his one
Really neat place.
This was insane, all that old stuff and it is in such a good condition 😎👍
Thanks for checking out!🤩😎
战时，随时可起用😂
16:50 clock says 220pm by 17:50 it is still working at 3:05pm cool!
你眼睛可真好
@@Oriental-perspective hahahah
this is an awesome addition your amazing channel. Completely unspoilt and untouched - what a great find - and in China too - got to be a first among Sub Urban Exploration.
Well done Bob and the other explorers, excellent explore. This place is so raw and unspoilt, loved it! 👌
Thanks for checking out! More cool locations coming this year😇
Thanks so much Bob! I always greatly appreciate your videos! Wishing you safety💜
Fantastic! You dont see much of that in China on Western Urbex channels (if at all!) and thats why I'm here! 🤙
Thanks, wel subscribe and be amazed😄 Some will have to wait for a while…
gebouwd in 1958 en dan nog steeds stoom wow, interessante explore, nice industrial stuff loved it.
Bob your videos are the best thank you!
I love your vids and have been watching for years now, but have you considered censoring your guide's faces to protect them? What with the social credit system and AI face recognition by the state in China. Just a thought as I'd definitely like to see more of your adventures in China and elsewhere!
I’m pretty sure that the credit system was never actually implemented
@@alexgreen4005 It is. However, urban exploring, as long as you didn't take items from the site, remains okay. This is an approved topic in Chinese social media.
I wondered about this too
You are really misled by the reports of the Western media. In fact, our life is not so bad. The social credit system and facial recognition have really been exaggerated. I admit we have these things in China, but the social credit system is only used for financial purposes in China. When you don't have credit, it only restricts your means of transportation and does not allow you to borrow money. The police will not arrest you. Moreover, facial recognition is mostly used in electronic payments and the arrest of criminals. By the way, there are also many ruins explorers in China, and I can't believe you really believe those reports.
You break, you buy Bob.🤣❤👍
Luckily nothing and nobody got hurt or broken haha.
Thanks Bob.
Thanks for checking out Janice😀
Wow, great stuff here. Do you know everyone?😂
8:46, it is not 6000kw, it is 60000kw
Supertoffe video weer, heel interessant om te zien hoe alles in China gaat. Misschien lag het aan mij, maar de edit van de video leek in een beetje haast gedaan, desalniettemin een zeer leuke video :) Mooi om te zien dat alles enkel natuurlijke decay heeft in China, geen vandalisme. Kijk al uit naar je volgende avontuur :)
Nou, deze aflevering stond op voor volgende week, maar dacht dat ik het wel kon halen. De ondertiteling heb ik er snel doorheen gehaald, dat is veel extra werk. Maar ben minimaal toch enkele lange dagen ermee bezig! Zeker met videos die niet chronologisch gefilmd zijn en als er met veel verschillende camera’s gefilmd is. Als je dan ziet wat de opbrengst is van zo’n video (vaak zo’n 15€) dan staat het niet echt in verhouding😆
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath haha weet exact wat je bedoelt 😉 veel werk voor een video. Was ook niet negatief bedoelt alleen viel het mij op in vergelijking met je andere video's 💪🏻💪🏻
No scrappers in China ?
surely ?
no vandalism??
how come?
so much of everything
good video
very interesting
old solar panels?
wtf
im new a subscriber
Cheers
Thanks for subscribing😇 As an urban explorer you always try to be there before the scrappers. It’s just not known to them. You find such places in the US too. (In Europe scrappers start really quick)
Some people have a question. Why they don't renovate the steam house and power plant? The main reason is cost of renovation and rebuilding. It is easier and cheaper build a new one cause the new generation of machinery bigger and more efficient, an old facilities not fitted for this new equipment. It is impossible to replace steam boilers and turbines without rebuilding the machine halls and supply buildings.
And the equipment is outdated pretty fast. Usually they build new blocks next to it or a new facility next to it😄
You got balls, Bob. The CCP doesn't fuck around with foreigners, especially ones trespassing. I'm surprised you friends even were willing to go on camera. Love you man
Amazing that no one have stolen the copper wires, must be tons of copper in that plant.
that's what I was thinking when I saw that... here in Texas.... that's the first thing that would have been stolen.
In China they have a special thing they do to criminal gangs. They just kill them. All.
WOW
Thanks Jopy, it was a nice one.
Another excellent adventure. You even left in the clip of you tripping over! lol
Yeah, just keep it real and authentic. It happens haha😅
24:40 manometer
So worried about all 3 of you guys. Glad you got out safely.
An incredible object! There would be more industrial content. Just fantastic! Great respect to you Bob!
Awesome.
Thanks a lot for checking😎
26:54 what the heck was that thing a goat?
another great vid thanks guys
Yeah goats or sheep.haha
Every video i watch from you guys leaves me with a sad feeling, all that iron and steel, all those abandoned places going to waste. Sure, it's way to expensive compared to the gains, but still. Makes me wish we could have a alternative use for the abandoned places you visit.
Some do Marijn after they get some exposure!😄But the case often is.. money or a lack of historical insight. In The Netherlands most of the industrial places got torn down… which they regretted later.
The coal fired plant produced too much pollution, so natural gas plant nearby took the vacancy. The plant was shut down for good.
Fantastic episode 🦾🤩👏🏻
Thanks mate! Glad you loved it
8:47 subtitles should be 60000kw
Another great video no doubt and the Plant seems like almost ready to be restarted if due maintenance was performed.
nope，its China, boi, we switch shit fast
It may be used when war comes😂
Great find. But where are we?
China, Shanghai area.
if the power station located in a big city, it would become a museum/park/shared office etc.
the place is at the 3rd largest island in China ChongMing island which most part of the island belongs to shanghai
This was really cool to watch. Thank you!
Thank you for checking out😇👍
Nuts !
Greetings Tom Belgium.
Hahahah you guys can make a horror film in it😊
And the dosimeter reads???😅😂😊
It’s not a nuclear one, been to those also
Amazing exploration! Been waiting to see inside a Chinese power station ever since the proper people got caught trying to enter one.
Another great video, and it's impressive how large the entire facility is.
Does Robin happen to have a bilibili channel? Would be interested to see more stuff from China.
I believe he will upload some stuff soon. I keep you all informed about this!
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPathAren't you afraid that the Communist Party will arrest you😂
Great explore. Reminds me of those types of factories you see in the old kung fu martial arts movies where they have shoot outs. 😏👍
Hard to believe.
The Gloves stand like this for the sweat to dry faster
Thanks for the info! The weird thing was it seemed glued to the wood. Guess it’s because of time&decay
i think this place may be abandoned
My grandpa used to work in a power plant in china around that that time, what city is it in it may be my grandpas old workplace
Chong ming island bro
I hope Andy doesn’t get disappeared for this 😂he’s most definitely history right now. Hope you guys feel it was worth it 🤦 😮😢😂
Crazy to think this ran till 2012, it must have already been in a decayed state then.
Great video
Hi! Could you tell me where this powerplant is located? Thank You!
啊，这应该也是火力发电整体环保改革之后逐渐废弃的旧电厂。
进去参观没什么问题，但是由于这是属于国家财产/国有企业/地方政府的财产，所以依然处于半封闭状态，避免出现事故。
뭔가 밀배나 타콥같은 느낌스
OMG 2012 is 11 years ago
❤❤❤
Thanks for checking out😇😇😇
ja deixado meu like... top dos top mesmos... tjm sempre
9:02 You cant have steam of 5835 dec C, more likely its 583 deg C
有意思
Where is VERA???? LOL. If you 're ever in California (outside of the Bay Area), you would LOVE Suisan Bay. LOTs of old to somewhat modern "mothballed" US Naval Vessels.
I would sooo have loved to explored Suisan bay like 15-20 years ago. Explored some other cool US ones. There’s not much left in Suisan bay now right? Vera will join on another trip in the future probably😁
hey guy's good video, I hope this did'nt damage your Social Credit Score to much.
Social credit is western made up BS 😂
all costs are taken into account,,, so it's better left
maybe u should blur the plate of the car at the end of the video
O shit I forgot, usually do this. Thanks for the notice
great china
I really hope you guys had some tremendous street food while in China 🇨🇳
Thanks to my local guides Robin and Charles I had the most amazing food you can imagine. It was a big part of the trip😍😎🤩
Hi Bob!
Hi Kristian, good to see you again😎
The Truth is Their.
It will be known.
Chongming Island in Shanghai.
How did you find this place? Unbelievable. Welcome to China.
Nice Video 🎉 bro
Social credit score after this video ⏬⏬⏬
我怎么从来没听过😅
😂😂😂😂😂👌
Nowhere you can go, forever. 😢
-10000000😢
Old and lame 🥱
Fantastic caption typo at the 9-minute mark. I would pay money to see what happens to a steam turbine when the inlet feed reaches 5835 C.
Yeah these things slip in when you have to fight against the algorithm of TH-cam… post post post post… 😣
Such a great find! I love the variety of control rooms spread out. I laughed so hard when you pulled the magnetic door and it fell off 14:40 😂😂
Haha.. yeah that happens too haha! Luckily nobody was around. I put this kind of moments always in the episode.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath这些发电站在中国都是国有资产，你们这样偷偷摸摸进去，已经犯法了，没经过中国政府同意，私自进入是违法的，真怕你们几个被共产党关起来，说你们几个人是间谍，搞个间谍罪给你们，关他们在牢房里几十年，或者一辈子都别想出来😂😂😂
👍🏻
where is this ?
Trespass to this kind of public utility facility can be a crime in China. Interesting video，but unlawfully taken.
cool
Thanks Kevin😎
What a nice abandoned power station. However: You should consider censoring faces to prevent people from getting problems. Like the Chinese person below said according to google translate: "At least 2 Chinese friends are in trouble."
Well, according to the local explorers it's not a problem as long you don't visit/document any semi-active military places. Bili Bili is by example a Chinese TH-cam and people post their adventures to abandoned places too.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I really do hope so for them.
The titel in Dutch says 'slopen' instead of 'lopen'. Not sure if it's the same for other languages. Exited to watch the video :)
Dank je wel, had haast en heb niet naar de ondertiteling gekeken. Sluipen is een betere keuze hier ja.. slopen is een erg ongelukkige vertaling, thanks 😇
