In this land there are cities whose area is larger than Austria or Belgium, and states that do not have an official capital. The strangest, most interesting and amazing facts
about the world are included in today's selection.
Chongqing is called the second capital of China, and it is famous for the fact that it occupies an area larger than the whole of Austria or Belgium. The metropolis is home to 30 million people - a number that makes it the absolute record holder of the planet. And this is not the limit, because Chongqing is growing and expanding. Beautiful city can’t even be called a stretch - narrow cramped streets, piles of ugly buildings, gloomy alleys, dozens automobile factories And chemical production
. In Chongqing, the same number of houses, buildings, bridges and other structures are built in a year as in 20 years in Moscow. Perhaps in a few years the largest metropolis will change, because old neighborhoods are being actively demolished, and modern skyscrapers are rising in their place. But this is unlikely to make Chongqing any more comfortable.
Countries without railways
There are many such states not only in Asia, but also in Europe. In Iceland, the transport infrastructure is well developed - passengers are served by buses, planes, ships, but railways there is no.
In Qatar, where the population exceeds 800 thousand people, there is also no railway service. It is absent in Guinea, Bhutan, Nepal, and Afghanistan.
This list includes European countries Liechtenstein, Malta, Andorra. They, like Iceland, occupy a small territory. Land in the states is expensive, there is a shortage of it, and the terrain is mountainous, so the construction of railway lines is impractical.
There are no trains and Caribbean Islands, with the exception of Cuba. It is the only island in the region where a railway is built.
E, O, I, Yu
These are not vowel letters of the alphabet, but names of cities. E is located in France, on the coast of the Bresle River. It is home to about 8 thousand inhabitants. The indigenous population is called Eys.
In Lofoten, Norway, tourists can hear one local inviting another to go fishing in O. This is not a joke, but an unusual name for a fishing village. It comes from the word "A", which in Old Icelandic meant "river".
Mentions of locality date from the mid-16th century. It attracts tourists not only with its short name, but also with the museums of fish and the history of the village that operate here.
Ypsilonians - this is what the residents of the French commune I, located 100 km from Paris, call themselves. Its population is less than 100 people, but even in such sparsely populated places of our world there are amazing facts.
Yi, for example, has a sister village with the unpronounceable name Llanwirepullgwyngillgogerychverndrobullllantysilyogogogoch. One can only guess how customers pronounce it when they order tickets at train stations.
8 thousand people permanently live in the Swedish city of Yu. The medieval town is popular among travelers, because most of its buildings are wooden. And these are not only residential buildings, but also churches and public institutions.
It seems that residents are satisfied with short names, although the authorities of the countries periodically raise the topic of their possible renaming. They believe that the renaming will make it easier for users to find information of interest on the Internet.
The resort to which they usually send
In the southwestern part of Mexico there is a beautiful resort with pristine coastline. It stretches for almost 4 km along the Pacific coast. The beach areas are wide, sandy, and secluded bays are created especially for lovers. They are protected from the wind by green hills and a transparent blue sky.
In this resort location, anyone can buy a villa or condominium apartment with stunning views from the windows. A 2-room apartment costs 30-40 thousand dollars. This place is called Nahui and looks very picturesque.
Nauru is a country without a capital
This state can be walked around in 2 hours - length 6 km, width 4 km. Nauru is located on the coral island of the same name in western Oceania and is considered the only country in the world that does not have an official capital. The compact territory is divided into districts.
The first people appeared in Nauru more than 3 thousand years ago. When Captain Firn discovered the island in 1798, it was already inhabited by 12 tribes. They had no idea about state system and way of life, they survived by fishing, growing coconuts and knew how to do without the benefits of civilization.
Today the tiny country is barely surviving - tours to the island are not popular due to the lack of local color, high humidity and heat of 40-42 degrees. Nauru is located almost on the equator. The state of the ecology is deplorable - over the decades that phosphorites were mined here, instead of soil, a “lunar landscape” remained.
The longest mountains are at the bottom
Sometimes, to find the most amazing facts in the world, you need to go down to ocean floor. In our case - to the bottom Atlantic Ocean, which the Mid-Atlantic Ridge divided into two almost equal parts - western and eastern.
The mountain range underwater is a world record holder for the longest. Its length is 18 thousand km, its width is almost a thousand km, and its height is small for mountains - at the peaks it does not exceed 3 km.
While studying the relief of the mountain range, scientists discovered an interesting pattern: the further away from the rift valley, the older the basalt rocks. Their age was determined by archaeologists and geologists - 70 million years.
Mississippi changed direction
In 1811, an earthquake occurred in New Madrid, and in 1812, another occurred in the town of Missouri. Seismologists estimated the power of the elements at 8 points on the Richter scale.
Those earthquakes were the most powerful in North America– as a result, huge areas went underground, and new lakes formed in their place. The Mississippi River changed course in a short time and flowed in the opposite direction. Its waters formed the Kentucky Bend.
There are no rivers in Saudi Arabia
They were there before, but they dried up. During rains, dry river beds fill with water, but this water is stagnant and there is no flow in it. The Saudis are careful about fresh water.
In total, there are 17 states in the world that do not have a single river. Except Saudi Arabia the list includes Oman, Kuwait, Yemen, UAE, Monaco, Vatican and others.
There are no rivers in Monaco and the Vatican, because the territory of the states is small, there are no channels from which they could appear.
Sea without shores
The Sargasso Sea is the only one that has no shores. It is located in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean and poses a mystery to humanity. The fact is that the water in the Sargasso Sea has unique properties that are not typical for ocean waters.
The weather here is calm all year round and the sea is never stormy. For this property, the reservoir has gained notoriety as a ship graveyard. In the Middle Ages, sailing ships could not navigate when there was calm. The sailors were also unable to row with their hands - numerous algae got in the way. So, waiting for a fair wind, entire teams died.
This line is considered the longest railway in the world. The Great Siberian Road, as it was called in Tsarist Russia, connects Moscow and St. Petersburg with the largest cities in Siberia and the Far East.
The railway route stretches for almost 9.3 thousand km, crosses 3901 bridges, which is also an absolute record.
UFO exists
The fact of its existence was recognized by Chile, Italy and France. But Japan came first. This happened on April 17, 1981. The crew of a Japanese cargo ship saw a disk rise into the sky from the ocean waters. It glowed blue.
Taking off, the UFO stirred up such a powerful wave that it completely covered the ship. After this, the luminous plate circled over the ship for about 15 minutes, sometimes moving quickly, sometimes hovering in the air.
Then the UFO went into the water again, and the second wave damaged the ship's hull. Following the incident, the Coast Guard press officer officially stated that the atypical damage was due to a collision with a UFO.
Uganda is the youngest country
Experts predict that in 2100, 192.5 million people will live in Uganda.
It is curious that half of the residents are children and teenagers under 15 years old. Uganda is considered the youngest country on the planet.
Hell and Heaven on earth
Anyone can see what Hell looks like. True, for this you need to come to Norway and get to the city of Trondheim. From there it is 24 km to Hell.
Norwegian Hell has its own railroad station, shops, a blues music festival takes place every September. Unusual name the village inherited from the Old Norse word “hellir”, which is interpreted as “cave”, “rock”. But local residents I prefer the meaning of the homonym – “luck”.
Earthly Paradise is located in Great Britain, 80 km from London. It is permanently home to 4 thousand people. This compact town is built on a hill. Previously he was surrounded sea water, and now that there is no sea, there are only 3 rivers left.
Paradise - ancient city, the first mention of it is in sources of 1024. The amazing thing is that its ancient streets, alleys, fortresses, houses, windows, roofs have been preserved almost in their original form.
