15 Places On Earth You Are Not Allowed To Visit
Have you ever tried getting a reservation at the most popular restaurant in town? Chances are, you’ll
have to wait a while before you can get in. But with the places that we will talk about today, no amount
of waiting or requesting will grant you access. Today we will be taking a look at 15 places on earth you
aren’t allowed to visit.
You’ll never see any place as impregnable as entry number one. So make sure you stay tuned for that.

15. Woomera Test Range, Australia
Australia is a massive country and tourists who come here generally don’t run out of places to visit. You
can pretty much go anywhere here, with a few exceptions. And one of those exceptions is the Woomera
Test Range.
The Woomera Test Range is a massive site used for testing various weapons such as bombs and missiles.
The place is absolutely massive, at 47,100 square miles, it’s roughly the size of Portugal.
It’s definitely a place you wouldn’t want to visit even if you were allowed to, that is unless you want to
have a bomb drop on your head. And besides, I have a feeling that there’s little to no peace and quiet
there.

14. Diego Garcia Island
This tiny island once belonged to the United Kingdom but it was used to settle a $14 million debt top the
United States. Since the US took control of the island, no one is allowed to go there, not unless you’re
US Military. In fact, no civilian is allowed to even come within 3 nautical miles of the island.
The island now serves as a Us Military Base with 654 buildings and around 4000 personnel. What they
are actually doing there, however, is a mystery. What we do know is that the island is strategically
located and offers easy troop deployment to East Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

13. The Tomb of Qin Shi Huang
Serving as the final resting place of China’s first emperor, the tomb of Qin Shi Huang is every
archaeologist’s wet dream. While people can generally gain limited access to the place, it’s only limited
to the outside of the tomb, with the majority of its contents stull off limits.
There are a couple of reasons why the Chinese Government restricted further excavation and
investigation into the tomb. First is out of respect for the burial site of a very important person in
Chinese history, and two, because they don’t want people to die horrible deaths.
You see, the first emperor was obsessed with immortality, and has been known to even drink mercury,
believing that the toxic metal will give him everlasting life. It’s also believed that the tomb itself is filled
with mercury, making opening the inner chambers a bit too risky.

Still, you can visit the perimeter and wonder at a few artifacts, including the famed terracotta army.

12. North Sentinel Island

North Sentinel Island is one of those places on Earth that you would never want to visit if you value your
own life. Located in the Bay of Bengal, it is inhabited by natives who have long opposed any influence
from the modern world, and they do it quite violently.
If they see any approaching vehicle, whether by air or by sea, the natives viciously attack them. In fact,
att6empted encroachment into their island has resulted into three deaths in recent years. Following the
2004 tsunami, when the Indian Coast Guard flew a reconnaissance mission over the island, men
reportedly emerged from the forests to shoot arrows at the helicopter, which did not land.
The Sentinelese have lived on the island for some 60,000 years, and with the protection of the Indian
government — which prohibits visitors of any kind — it has successfully resisted anthropologists,
authorities and tourists.

11. The Ise Grand Shrine
There is estimated to be upwards of 80,000 shrines in the island nation, of Japan, and pretty much all of
them are open to visitors, well, except a few. Foremost of these forbidden shrines is the Ise Grand
Shrine, an intricate temple that happens to be one of the most expensive in the country due to the
detail of its architecture.
The shrine is rebuilt every 20 years, usually costing around a million dollars, in order to symbolize the
Shinto tradition of death and renewal of nature. The current iteration was built in 2013, so we can
pretty much expect another million-dollar makeover in a couple of years. And unless you're a member
of the Japanese imperial family, there's no chance you'll be entering the hallowed halls of this ancient,
significant representation of Japanese culture.
