According to Forbes, almost no passengers arrive at this airport for travel purposes, because the number of operated flights is too low. Photo: Forbes. Most of the visitors to the airport are visitors from nearby wildlife parks. They were curious to see what the world’s quietest airport would look like. The airport was named after the then President of Sri Lanka (Mahinda Rajapaksa) and was opened in 2013. Photo: Wade Shepard. The airport is located in a forested area 250 km from the capital Colombo. The 12,000-square-meter terminal includes 12 check-in counters, two gates, a 3500 m long runway capable of receiving the largest line of commercial jets with a capacity of one million passengers per year. However, during more than 7 years of operation, the airport is extremely deserted despite its close proximity to famous tourist destinations such as Arugam Bay and Yala National Park. Photo: Forbes. There are very few aircraft anchored at this airport. “There are very few other sounds, no flight announcements through the speakers, no scenes of crowded passengers or the sight of a taxi driver trying to solicit passengers. The corridors are empty, no one. Except for me, “said Forbes reporter Wade Shepard. Photo: Wade Shepard.

In addition to the airport, Sri Lanka also built a huge deep-water port costing more than $ 1.4 billion, an industrial park, a convention center, a stature cricket stadium, and resort hotel. and a modern highway system.

In 2020, MRIA’s total passenger capacity is only about 20,610 seats, much lower than other airports in the world. In 2019, the airport’s passenger capacity is only about 19,600 people. On average, the airport serves only 55 passengers a day. There are times a day the airport only serves 10-20 passengers. Photo: Wade Shepard.

Map of the Forbidden City with more than 9000 rooms. Photo: Ton That Minh Khoi With the huge area of ​​the Forbidden City, many debates broke out to see how many rooms this project has. In 1972, architects conducted comprehensive statistics according to the standard “four pillars and one room” (that is, each anti-stall is equal to 4 columns, counted as one room). The statistical results show that the Forbidden City has a total of 9687 rooms. However, in all these rooms, there is a place where no one has lived for a long time, that is Khôn Ninh Palace. Cung Khôn Ninh The royal family members living in the Forbidden City all have their own residence: His Majesty lives in Can Thanh palace, the queen lives in Khôn Ninh palace, the queen lives in Tu Ninh palace, and the crown prince is Ninh Tho palace. Each place has its own meaning. If the Can Thanh sign represents positive, the Khôn Ninh arc represents the negative. Photo: Sohu The position of the queen is opposed to the emperor, the emperor is heaven, the queen is earth, so the word “Khôn” in “Khôn Ninh” is taken from the hexagram “Khone” in “Chu translated”, which means that the prince uses virtue to support all things. The bow name Khôn Ninh is understood as “Khone Geographic Security”, which means that this is a safe and pure place. Starting in the Ming Dynasty, the Khôn Ninh Palace was used as an impregnation for the queen. Red is the main color of Khôn Ninh to represent love and reproduction. The emperors would stay with their queen in this palace shortly after their wedding, wishing they could soon give birth to a son. After being ordained, queens will live in Khôn Ninh Palace until their death. If the queen moves out of the palace, it is usually for two reasons, one is that the emperor has died, the queen moves to the queen’s palace or, in a worse case, when the queen becomes unseen. A place such a good place to live, why later Khôn Ninh Palace becomes a gloomy place, no people live? “Hell” queen Contrary to the name of peaceful meaning, Khone Ninh Palace is considered to be a place full of waves. During the Ming dynasty, Emperor Chu – the queen of Minh Tu Tong Sung Trinh De hanged himself here. By the Qing dynasty, King Khang Hi had a total of 4 post-creation times, his two queens passed away inside the Khoneing Palace, which made Khang Hi extremely miserable and never married again. After these haunting events, Khôn Ninh Palace was left vacant for more than 30 years because it was considered a curse. The decoration inside the Khone Ninh Palace is only to serve the emperor’s wedding day, the rest of the year is used as a place of worship. Photo: Sohu According to experts’ analysis, the main reason why Khôn Ninh Palace was uninhabited was the policy of building Di Hoa Vien of the Qing royal family. Many concubines were moved to live in Di Hoa Vien, so the existence of the harem was very blurred, and the old Khôn Ninh Palace was also increasingly empty. Although always vacant, according to royal rites, this Khôn Ninh Palace is still the place where the emperor and the queen get married, they will live there for 3 days before moving to another palace. Later, the Khôn Ninh palace was used mainly as a place of worship for the Manchus deities. Although not often frequented by people, this place is still decorated with splendid architecture and interiors in accordance with royal regulations. However, being only used as a place of smoke for a long time without people living has made Khôn Ninh palace become dull and dull. The murky space and many dark legends will make visitors visiting the Forbidden City feel extremely scared when entering this palace.

Sedlec caves are located under the All Saints cemetery church.

The cave itself is a Roman Catholic chapel.

In 1870, the Schwarzenberg family of the aristocracy hired a famous carpenter, František Rint, to turn the skeletons in the chapel into works of art.

This is the Schwarzenberg family crest.

The entire chapel is decorated with motifs made of human bones.

Before rearranging, Rint and the workers cleaned up the bones.

Then he turned them into things like ceiling lights.

The huge ceiling lamp is one of the most impressive parts of the chapel, which is said to have every bone in the human body.

Sometimes pieces of bone are used for decoration …

Or form artifacts commonly found in a chapel.

They sometimes tell legends, such as a Turk whose eyes were gouged out by a crow.

Human bones form the framework for the traditional statues.

They can also be combined with other materials.

They always bring an element of obsession for the scene.

Each corner of the chapel has giant skeletons.

They seem mysterious and intimidating when you get up close.

People often leave coins for good luck.

Rint left an impression on his signature – in human bones.
