Nope.

it's just about impossible with no additional clues.

Because of the vegetation, we know it's not in the arctic. It doesn't appear to be mountainous, since the water is so flat. There probably isn't a lot of snow, since the roofs are flat. It's below the tree line in elevation.

Ruts show that vehicles are available in the area, but don't go into the compound itself.

That narrows it down to about a million possible locations.

It would be cool if it were Bin Laden's compound, but I don't think there was water around that.

Some additional clues:
The site is now derelict, originally built over 70 years ago

A close-up of part of the site.

That should help identify what the site is and should narrow down where.

I took that water in the photo to be a river or such, but it looks like it's just a swampy basin.

@Quarantine's ruins

The graffiti looked a bit asian, and Google Images turned up this
ancient fort (model) with similar shape, but it's from the Ming Dynasty.

Dagu Paotai or Fort Dagu ?
