What first associations come to mind when you mention a country like China? Probably, besides Chinese food, images of crowds of people bustling through city streets and creating continuous noise of varying intensity immediately arise.
Surprisingly, there is a city in China that completely contradicts all stereotypes about this country. The ghost city of Kangbashi (Kangbashi), built in the desert of northern China in just 10 years, amazes with its architectural masterpieces and scale, but what amazes most is that practically nobody lives there.
Many initially considered the construction of a two-million-strong metropolis a failed project. Although many jobs, schools, hospitals, and so on were created, they were not built, and precisely during the period from the city's creation to the erection of communal facilities (two years), Kangbashi earned the nickname 'ghost town'. This coincided with the fact that housing prices at the time of sale were unaffordable for many Chinese.
The city boasts luxurious government facilities, an opera house, a museum, a library, unique statues and monuments. With the start of construction of communal facilities, Chinese began to gradually settle the city, but currently its population does not exceed 100 thousand people.
Over time, this situation will, of course, change, as most of the vacant apartments have been sold. They are mainly viewed as
long-term investment objects with the aim of giving them to children or settling there upon marriage.
There are also some unsuccessful architectural solutions in the city. For example, excessively wide streets of 40 m and huge distances between intersections. Moreover, the distances between government buildings and workplaces are also large.
To reach shops or entertainment venues, people have to drive several blocks. And on the city's streets, it is very rare to see people strolling even in the central square.
The government is trying to save the ghostly beautiful city, investing money in it and keeping everything in working condition.
Our city certainly cannot be called a ghost town, and if you want to most effectively invest your money in
buying an apartment in a new building, our specialists will help you choose the optimal option for you! Phone: 700 00 42.
