Creepy photos show the abandoned ski resort that’s decaying near the border between North and South Korea Part 3

By Lucy Yang, INSIDER From Business Insider

South Korea spent more than $1 billion building sleek new facilities for athletes and visitors at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

But 60 miles away from the sparkling new venues at Pyeongchang is an abandoned ski resort that may be a preview of what’s to come after the Games are over. As we’ve seen time and time again, Olympic venues are often left to fall into disrepair if the host city can’t find a way to repurpose the facilities or lacks the resources to do so.

And piles of garbage lie untouched.
