The most crowded places on the planet

The most crowded places on the planet

Soon the world's population will exceed 8 billion people. Many people are seriously concerned about the problem of overpopulation and believe that our planet is not able to withstand so many people without serious damage to itself. In the largest cities in the world, where millions of people live, the idea arises that there are too many Homo sapiens on one square kilometer. This is especially noticeable in tourist places, where people from all over the world fly and look at the sights, creating crowds and queues of thousands.

There are such popular places among tourists in the world that there is never empty near them. International tourism began to gain momentum again after the coronavirus pandemic, and all the famous sights again began to be included in the list of places where the most people are located.

Dead Sea in China

The Dead Sea is called an artificial reservoir in the Chinese province of Sichuan. On hot days, thousands of Chinese come to the resort near the Dead Sea. The area of the lake reaches 30 square kilometers, but even such a large lake the inhabitants of China manage to fill almost completely. A case was recorded when more than 10 thousand people swam in this lake at the same time!

The chemical composition of the reservoir is very similar to the sea and contains a lot of salt.

Taj Mahal

The main Indian attraction is visited annually by over 8 million travelers from all over the world. The most crowded months are October, November and February. When the tomb is open to the public, its surroundings become very crowded, which sometimes does not even allow you to take a good picture of the mosque. During the full moon, tourists have the opportunity to visit a night excursion to the Taj Mahal.

Santa Cruz del Islote – the most populous island

This small island in Colombia is inhabited by 1300 people, although its size is equal to the area of a small football field. The island is not a tourist, there are no clinics, schools, or kindergartens. To take a child to school or visit the hospital himself, the islander needs to take a boat and sail to neighboring islands.

Mall of America, Minnesota

This huge shopping center is visited annually by about 40 million people. Visitors shop at one of the 520 stores or just come to see one of the largest shopping malls on the planet. In addition to shops, the Mall of America has an amusement park, eateries, an oceanarium and numerous cafes on the food court. Such a number of establishments can not have the same schedule, so the days of operation of the desired store must be clarified before going to this place.

Chichen Itza, Mexico

In this sacred city many years ago lived the tribes of the Mayan people, and now the ancient place attracts millions of travelers from all over the planet every year. The place is iconic for both Mexico and all of America. In the afternoon, you can not push near the destroyed buildings, so it is better to come to the excursion in the early morning, when there are a little fewer people.

The Great Wall of China

More than 10 million people come to see one of the wonders of the world built by man every year. For the first time such a number of tourists was recorded in 2010 and continues to grow. Some guides lead travelers not to the popular sections of the multi-kilometer wall, but to the areas of Jinshanling or Huanghuacheng - they are not fully restored, but no less majestic and allow you to explore the surroundings from a height, as well as take good photos where there will not be many people.

Statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro

One of the largest statues of Christ in the world attracts a huge number of people from all over the world. Despite the long journey and hot climate, the number of people wishing to see the wonder of the world is only growing and already reaches 3.5 million visits every day! To enjoy the majestic view of the statue, it is better to come here not during holidays or carnivals. Relative silence here comes in the early morning or late at night.

Piazza del Campo, Italy

This place is one of the oldest in Siena and Italy. Twice a year, horse races are held here, for which the area is filled with sand. During horse races, tens of thousands of people come to the square, and the maximum capacity of the square is about 60 thousand people. To look at the races from the optimal place, you need to come to the venue of the event 5 hours before the start - only then there is a chance to get into the first rows.

Tokyo Subway

The daily load on the subway of Tokyo is over 3 million people. There are thousands of pandemoniums, thanks to which one of the local stations entered the Guinness Book of Records. Only here there are special metro workers who push passengers inside the car so that they are not pinched by the doors or they do not fall out of the train.

Moncock – Hong Kong District

Moncoc is the most populous place on the planet according to the Guinness Book of Records. On one square kilometer, as many as 130 thousand people live here! Not only Chinese live here, but also representatives of other cultures and peoples. Moncock is also popular with students who come to Hong Kong to study.
