We've been documenting abandoned buildings, sites and even abandoned ghost towns for over 10 years but we've never seen anything like the empty cities of China.
Ghost towns normally have meant towns once occupied but through some kind of economic hardship, or some kind of natural environmental disaster, that has rendered the town unable to persist as in its former glory days due to its present hardship(s).
The empty ghost cities of China are notably peculiar in that they've never been occupied, but have remained ghost towns since their inception.
These are abandoned cities from the get-go. It's peculiar. Even surreal.
Why are there Dozens of Ghost Cities in China?
