Is ORDOS, Kangbashi District China -- a Ghost City?, a town in the middle of barren Inner Mongolia deserts, once found itself stuck with rows of newly built but vacant apartment buildings, earning a nationwide reputation as a guicheng, or ghost town. 添加了中文字幕
We have worked very hard on this project called |🎥 CChina's Largest Ghost City | Ordos Kangbashi District 康巴什区. Over 50 hours of production time.
Now the district in the city of Ordos is back. Having sold previously empty apartments, Kangbashi town is building more high-rise complexes. "We're not a ghost town anymore," a local property sales manager said with a laugh.
We have included samples of the Asian financial crisis in the video. The opening clip shows the devastation of how irresponsible lending can leave even cities like Bangkok with many ghost towers. The video goes on to explain how China plays an important role in world real estate and how it proves it can bring a city back from disaster.
The secret to the reversal of the town's fortunes is the intense competition among high school students, and their parents, to be accepted into China's top universities. Once municipal officials moved some of the city's top schools into Kangbashi, the so-called tiger parents followed and property prices -- along with new investment -- soared.

I thought its deserted then why fight pollution
A city only 20% full is still a ghost city. That means 80% is unoccupied. That's a ghost city. It's been 17 years and only started filling up due to government intervention, and incentives. Despite all that effort, it is still 80% empty after 17 years.
Buildings, housing, infrastructure, powerplants, railways, airports, and factories are built as needed. That is how it normally works. It shouldn't take 1 or 2 decades to fill a city, which is still 80% empty. China is a country of 1.4 Billion people, but they have trouble filling a relatively small city built for only 1 million? 17 years and Ordos is still mostly empty.
@M_ore Fake_News
China is run by the CCP, not engineers and economists. Any engineer or economist that contradicts or criticizes the CCP will be out of a job or imprisoned and or tortured and forced to publicly confess to whatever the CCP wants them to confess to.
Do you know anything about China? You sound very ignorant.
@@RedRider1600, the Chinese Politbureau consists mainly of engineers. But when your anti-communist CIA-stomach says other.
China has really invested so much in technology and infrastructure.
China’s ghost city actually looks like a place suitable for living. Here in the US our ghost cities look like something out of a zombie movie.
LoL. 🤣🤣🤣. Take a look in Detroit city. 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahah savage
Because our politicians only care about votes, they don’t really care about people who vote for them.
@@tommyboss4067 Or L.A which look like a dump
The local governments of these ghost cities have long term plans to draw people to settle down, they provide tax reduction and other benefits to factories and companies who would like to come, low cost of ownig industrial lands, they have top notch infrustructures built to serve them. Western medias only report the early stage of those cities, once they developed to mature, westerns just ignore the achievements.
He who laughs last, laughs best!!!
Another example of "ghost city" in western media was Zhengdong new Area in Zhengzhou city, Henan province. It was called Ghost city by western media in 2011, but more than 1 million residents in the area in 2016, now 1.5 million people
Yeah,and every place are developing.My hometown Ordos really changed a lot！
What is the problem if the information was true when they shared it ?
That's brilliant hopefully it will keep booming xx
@@macaque791 because "failed" city is not objective.
China's built 400+ cities in the past 20 years. Firstly not all of them can be successful. If 0.5% of them fail, that's a very good success rate.
Secondly, it just takes a decade or more to populate cities in China.
Like I always tell people, why are not no longer saying Pudong is a ghost city, doomed to fail?
I always said all gona be fine with Kanbashi. So much obvious jealousy and propaganda in Western media.
I remember moving into this "ghost district" in Shenzhen 10 years ago. Now there's a Walmart, Sam's club, Costco, 2 metro stations and 4 malls within 1km radius.
Have President Biden rent then out of yearly deals for our illegals, waiting for their court date.
"F" Walmart, Sam's, and Costco. I live in the United Snakes of America, I avoid these places like plague. They are nothing but greedy, slime, bloodsucking SOB, and Corporate Capitalists
Thats only because China entered its boom phase of rapid growth in the early 2010s, and the fact that Shenzhen is China's designated tech hub. Its inaccurate to project your narrative onto other ghost cities. For most of these 3rd tier cities, they will probably remain empty for the next 30 years at minimum
Wait, they got Walmart's, Sam's Club, and Costco all in China? And people still think China is our enemy ... yeah, so much for that lie! If we actually got rid of our clown government and replaced it with people of integrity, then our country would be ran a lot better, and China would be our favorite ally. Imagine a world where China and the US actually are allies and learn from one another. We'd be living in the Star Trek universe in no time.
You may live in Longhua district

It is not seen anywhere else in the world because no other country can plan ahead that far or afford to do this type of long term investment without short term profit in sight.

WION IS BANNED IN CHINA
This so called ghost cities look spectacular than most cities of other countries
Well thats true it looks quite good i actually have a friend that lives in Ordos but she still says it's quite dead like she agrees that's its quite lacking like said before the city is built for 1million but just 200 000 live there still 1/5 of the expected population of course far better than 30k
Why would China not build so called ''ghost cities' during a time of wealth? There are many variables that China cannot predict.
It's an ancient Egyptian proverb to save wheat for a time of famine.
White elephants are often spectacular.
It's all CGI mate.
@@Oscarcat2212 I would like to laugh from the innermost heart. This isn't Cgi
Kangbashi looks like a super awesome modern city where everything is brand new. I'm sure it wouldn't take long for this place to become prosperous. Like they say, build it and they will come, of course, with carefully planned out strategy. 👍
I hope so!
It’s in Inner Mongolia, how cold does it get there in winter? 30-40 below?
Yeah it's true but i wonder why chinese goverment have taken so much time to land that city? If you ask it to me i think China's super population is due to "ghost cities" if there is space cause China's territory is vast why its cities are full of people
Great video! I didn’t know about this place before. 200k population is actually barely on the map for a Chinese city, but Ordos is growing in prominence so the city will definitely continue to grow.
Now it is total silence from BBC, Aljazeera, US and Western news media !
Not silence from Reporterfy Media
They are busy focusing on smearing China's "uncontrolled rocket debris" but never mention that every rocket in the world works this way.
LoL. 🤣🤣🤣. Take a look in Detroit city. 🤣🤣🤣
@@tommyboss4067 : Not just Detroit. Dilapidation and homeless all over the U.S. from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
@@gregkahele154 Yes, I know. Even far away in Hawaii lots of homeless there now. So sad to talk about ghost city in China. It is not relevant.
People just do not understand how the Chinese think. They only think how most Westerners think. The Chinese culture is 5000 years old man, they have a different mindset. This is just another example of why China is so far ahead in almost every aspect of development. Thanks for bringing us an amazing video again Alex.
Thank you Pierre
@@frisianmouve And you are from where? I have lived and worked in both Taiwan and Mainland China for the past 15 years. There are almost no Chinese people I've ever met feeling that their government oppresses them. Western propaganda bullshit! And how is that dickwaving threatening of invasion, and actually invading, and killing thousands of innocent people, going for America??
@@frisianmouve dude. how much China uncensored video did you watch? and Epoch times? BBC? Wions???? i think its better for you to go to library and find reliable source or going to china yourself instead of listening to garbage media nowadays. what you said makes me think if you are from this planet .
@@frisianmouve You are such an idiot!
True that people only take measurements according to the Western standards, at this timeframe we are living now. A 100 years or even 200 are a very short period of window for a civilization existed for 5000 years, aren't you glad we can witness and live through such historical momentum?
The foreigners, especially the West still do not see the trend that, the Chinese do not give empty words or boasts things they could not archive in fact, when the Chinese start "talking" about something, that something is more than often in final stages, if not already completed.
I was there when it was been built, lived in Dongsheng 2010, the "old Ordos". It's truly a beautiful place 🤩
There is an entrance and exit of a subway station in Chongqing. It was built in a barren mountainous area three years ago. As a result, Western media mocked the entrances and exits of the subway. However, today, three years later, the entrance and exit of the subway has become Chongqing Metro Line 10. This is an important hub for one person, crowded. The Chinese government is not a fool, but what Westerners cannot understand is that the Chinese government can plan things in a few years or decades.

Could you please do some research into the transportation infrastructure that connects Kanbashi to the rest of Ordos and neighboring provinces/states, as well as the nearest industrial/business centers/zones? Info on that would help determine or predict how long it will take to fill up the 1 million resident capacity.
Thanks for sharing the updates on this city.
@@lexneuron sure we can try.
@@dawei666 We mention Forbes in our research notes, but we have also done a lot of additional research. We also spent 3 hours even on the maps noticing that google never updated them in years. We don't have a large research group (me). We spent about 70 hours researching and editing the project. The voice over took about 3 hours in the studio. The video edit about 35 hours. 300 music tracks to pick 3 took about 10 hours. Researching notes for the script for about 10 hours. Then an additional 25 hours for all the video sourcing and freelance agreements. Oh I forgot we also took 5 hours making sure all our videos had signed copyright and licencing agreements. Not bad for a guy who personally funds his own channel.
Thanks for the support.
People in the West who have never been to China or who can't figure things out outside their own cocooned world , simply can't wrap their minds around how things are done in China . Anything seemingly alien to them is outrageous . They are flabbergasted at the majesty and scale of what they encounter in China . They can't comprehend why the Chinese people appear so different in China to what they have in mind because it never crossed their minds that their governments and media have been brainwashing them since they were born.

Having seen Ordos years ago when it was a ghost city, I was skeptical on visiting there. But in July of 2021, I decided to travel there, and honestly it’s a really nice and cozy city, and it isn’t even ghostly at all. It has a really nice atmosphere and I will definitely return there one day.
You have never been

Haha 🤣
You can really try it. No. 1 in the world for personal safety in our country. Your spoken foreign language is what we need. You can get a really good job. The premise is that. You have to have a clean criminal record. You'll have a great life.
This suggestion is not a joke, many people have found careers in China again, including many CZcams bloggers. You should go to China because there is nothing worse than where you are now.
Ordos is the new Pudong and Shenzhen! In 1991 I bought an Economist magazine world book. It mentioned Shenzhen as a failed Chinese experiment in capitalism. LOL. Don't underestimate China or you will be wrong. Orodos will be an incredibly new, clean and vibrant city in no time.
Wow do you have a link ?
What Economist magazine still doesn't know is China invented capitalism thousands of years ago and Chinese people are natural MBAs.
The west forgets or still doesn't realize that China was world's most advanced civilization with world's best civil engineered roads and cities for thousands of years.

@@Afronautsays why would the west plan something for the future when they don't know if they will be elected again.

One thing for sure, China has done a great job in raising the standard of living of its citizens. In 1980 about 90% of its population lived in poverty as defined by the UN PPP as was India’s. Today 40 years later the poverty rate is less than 1% but in India it is around 69%.

No doubt hey
When media were discrediting it as a ghost town, China chose to remain silent and continue to work hard.

Chinese govt didn't even promote Kangbashi well enough so I had to learn from your channel. I felt you know more about China than a lot of Chinese.
This area will become so popular one day.. Ppl in kangbashi can also work in Beijing with their fastest trains.. It takes jst one nd half hour maybe.this place will create more job opportunities for both cities nd they can fulfill their city dreams in cheaper prices.. I think it's actually a pretty smart move..
I would love to live in a City so wonderful as it’s now
Move there.
I was living in Shanghai when construction in Pudong began. The developers were selling 9000 RMB per sqm for their villas, which included a Porche as an incentive. The cost was not outrageous. The cost per sqm in Puxi's Hongqiao district (more expensive) was selling at about the same price per sqm. I went and visited the showroom, but was feeling really mixed. Though I did not have the money to buy a villa, I felt that the area was really messy with a lot of old and unkept houses in the surrounding area. Fast foward 10 years, now the whole area is clean with tree lined streets and felt really safe. The going price I believe now is 30000 - 50000 RMB per sqm or more. A good friend of mine bought an apartment much farther away in Pudong because the whole area looks serene and green. People will move where good schools and jobs are.

Once they started something, they will see that it will be a success, as they are far-sighted, optimistic and resilience people unlike the many abandoned cities in the US where the will and determination of its people are weak and only see immediate gains.
Which cities in the US are abandoned?
You people underestimate Americans so badly, you have to understand that the US doesn’t have the same amount of people that China does, The US is better at China at a huge amount of things and vice versa, also the US doesn’t have many ghost cities, we also don’t have the population to be able to create thousands of empty residential buildings to house people, because most of our people already live in big cities and houses. We’ve been a country for 244 years while China has been around for thousands of years, you underestimate us.
@@DivinesLegacy It is not the issue of underestimating the Americans, but more in emphasizing their shortcoming, like all other nations and thinking that they should be the dominant power and having that hegemonic mentality without respecting other nations and sometimes behaving above the law. Imposing your own so called democracy and human rights in a hypocritical manner to other countries is simply not underestimating the Americans, but more of being arrogant and not accepting other nations to excel and be better than the US. The slogans of "American First" and "Make America Great" speaks for itself.
@@taytarik5100 it’s cool and all to name flaws, because we can go ahead and name flaws about every country in existence, but you clearly generalized Americans saying we’re weak and that we don’t understand how the Chinese operate, and said we have a bunch of ghost cities which isn’t true and I’ve never said the US or west was perfect so naming off a bunch of flaws doesn’t prove anything. Along with you thinking China doesn’t try to impose itself on other countries is very hypocritical. And the America first slogans isn’t as nationalistic as you think, it’s a way of saying to take care of our own country before we intervene in other countries, not “only care about America, fuck everyone else”. And I agree with all the American flaws, but to act like China isn’t the exact same is just bad( Hong Kong, Africa, taiwan, ughyrs)You’re clearly very biased and against America and can’t seem to see the good and bad in both.
The construction is already deteriorating and it is not unusual for buildings to completely collapse inside China that is why the Chinese people call it tofu buildings
Wished we have so much housing supply like that here in America to lower the inventory prices
Great and informative video. Thanks for uploading.
Ordos, Atreides and Harkonnen are the powerhouses of Dune II spice war.
Love your videos Alex. They stand out from the others. Yours are at another level. You narration is researched and pre-written as opposed to being off the cuff. That is why I like it. There is no searching for the right word to describing something. I would say better than your old style random ad hoc videos.
Wow, thank you! some people tell me they prefer my vlogs, but at the moment I am not in China. When I do come to China I will continue with this style and also do some travel vlogs.
What a great video Alex!!, I really love your work.
I have to say that I always use your material to show to my friends the real China!!
Keep rocking!!
Much appreciated
I lived in China for 5 years. These ghost cities and buildings also exist outside and even within major cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen. I use to ride my bike in these areas for fun and I didn’t have to worry about traffic.
there is a lot what China can teach us in terms of planned development and allocation of resources
Funny, so you want to build stuff that people don’t use. You know that many Chinese construction only last 7 years. You can never own the land. In any normal country any construction that is empty is a lost for a normal company.
@@caregazo2100 I think you misunderstand many aspect of development, even in the western world, many countries adopt so called "lease hold" policy. In the UK, most land owned the the crown (ie the state) however these land are leased for 100 years and usually re-leased automatically, otherwise there will be a notice period for at least few years before the expiry. Same policy in China, so no, there is no concern at all !!
@@yoyohighness 10 years is the normal in China. Ccp have move a lot people. In UK is more stable
@@caregazo2100 no you got it totally wrong my friend, if you refer to industrial land the lease hold is between 20-40yrs which depends on each provincial or municipal independent economic development policy, sometimes the leasing cost are even waived, so you can use the land for free as long as you promote employment. Put in this way, if land acquirement is only 10 yrs leasing with uncertainty at renewal, why would China become the largest foreign invested country in the world ? It doesn't make any sense doesn't it
This video really made me recall the time when I first visited the construction sites of the Metro Line 4 in Guangzhou more than 10 years ago. That line was gonna reach Nansha, a new urbanised district in Guangzhou. At that time, there were no sightings of people or villages along the line at all and I still remember one intern reporter following us rolled her eyes and asked who were gonna come to such a place and why they built a subway here. But the subway experts earlier had told us there were two strategies of planning a subway network, some lines were designed to alleviate the existing traffic congestion while others were to serve the city’s long-range planning. Chinese people love buying properties and they really love buying properties along subways. No surprise, 10 years passed by and Nansha has already become a bustling place.
I will definitely visit and possibly move to Ordos next time when I go back to China. Having lived in Mid-west U.S. for almost 30 years, I do not miss crowds and I love the wide open space. Ordos sounds like a perfect place for me to retire to. Thanks for yet another beautiful production.
Sounds great!
Agreee. I like wide open space too.
Better hurry, I think the video said most of the apartments are already sold. But money always talks. Also consider Indonesia, I read an article a few years ago about an American couple who retired there and live like kings because labor there is/was so cheap. They had 10 helpers or servants, incl. cooks, landscapers, domestic servants. It cost them a couple thousand a month, lived in a mansion bought for around $200k. Gee, I could afford to do that. My Thai friend said he once met an old American living in southern Thailand who spent half a year there, had a beautiful young Thai girl friend to live with and spent the other half of the year in the US. I could do that too, lol.
中国欢迎你

Dude, I totally forgot about that. Thanks.
Great video . Greetings from London 🇬🇧
Thanks for your update, Alex. Beautifully shot video.
I will thank the team
Thank you for this video, clarifying the myth of the ghost city. Showing the world how to look at China's development, you have to look at it at a way larger scale, no matter from size or time.
Amazing video. Informative and beautiful!
Well this could help fight homelessness. It's amazing how fast an entire city was even built form the ground up.
Alex will be waiting for your next video. keep it up and keep growing love you so much ❣️
Thank you so much 😀
let them eat grapes...very very sour grapes
I watched all your videos. Your knowledge, ability, editing, and editing are all top-notch. I don't understand why such an excellent channel only has tens of thousands of followers. I think I know the reason. Come on, look forward to your new video
Very interesting video. The developers of the city have far-sighted vision. They know if they build and with the help from the government to convince business and factory owners to come in, people will move in and eventually fill all the buildings with people. Talk about high-risk taking. This high risk factor occurs all over China undeveloped lands.
Thanks to Alex, what a different and interesting perspective of a Chinese ghost town.
Another well put together piece. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Glad you enjoyed it
That ghost city is so beautiful and well planned!!!!
This was the easy part. It would be nice to know the long range plans. Where will all the building resources transition?
Great job Alex I love watching your videos thank you so much.
You are so welcome
这些“女记者”表情真的是狰狞。中国人都懂这种表情，像幼儿园里表演过度的女孩。
最狰狞恶心的是柴静采访丁仲礼关于碳排放的
是我见过最最恶心的表情了
要有多么扭曲黑暗的内心才能达到这种容貌气质？
“中国人是不是人？”一句话把柴静问傻了！
Such a beautiful, well organised and modern city. Something so many other countries wish for but do not have. In time to come, this city will flourish ................
Thanks for an honest report on what's really going on in China.
Please do a video on ocean flower island of Hainan city.
I will be glad to watch it.
Thanks for always uploading Amazing video of China always.
So nice of you
🌹🌹🌹❤💜
Hainan province is a big island with several cities and rural areas, not just one city
I want to visit Ordos long times ago to see if the report made by those MSM is true or not. However, Inner Mongolia is just too far away and I haven't started the trip. From what I see in this video, the BBC seems to over exaggerate again.
I think it is a perfect place to move in, i hope its sustain the growing population and businesses so that the government investments not to go to waste. Coz i find the place so beautiful ❤

China operates on 100 year plan. And they already understand that in the next 20 years they are going to be forced to relocate millions of people from low lying cities.
China is incredible! Socialism is the future. Love from Brazil 😄✊🇧🇷🇨🇳❤️.
Tell that to all people in the concentration camps.
Watching from Philippines ❤️🥰
I have been to Ordos many times on business. Such a spectacular city. The horse statues in the central park are massive. They have similar horse statues on the hill across from the train station also.
Fantastic
Such a beautiful city. I'd shift there in a blink if i was offer one apartment. Nice information...keep it up.
Amazing video reporterfy! I was wondering what happened to the city. Thanks for the wonder coverage and footage!
Our pleasure!
thanks for the mind blowing update on Kangbashi...very edutaining!
I try my best, please share
When I lived in Tianjin back in 2012, there was a newly built, super modern, mega high-speed train station. For the first two years when I visited it, it was empty with few travelers. I saw more trains and people starting using it in later years. Things got planned in China, at least.
Give it twenty plus years and everything will be worn, bushes and trees overgrown, pavements cracked.
@@EllieMaes-Grandad well known they can build all they want but u got to maintain that shit and resources will be zapped
@@EllieMaes-Grandad yah, just like Binhai...
Great, informative video! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful city 🌆
It really is!
Thank you for this update that you mentioned in my earlier comment. When I did a google search, there is an article that says there are some fifty ghost cities. If you can, please show the progress of these other areas. It kind of reminds me of when Brasilia was first being built. It started out basically only government buildings. I hope the new city near Beijing won't run into any problems. China can plan and build at a scale and speed that no other country can match.
That new city near Beijing built the biggest train station in Asia, which has been put into use last Dec (there're 13 trains to Beijing per day, other lines are under construction), also the newly built Daxing International Airport is around 30 min train ride away / 1.5 hour drive away. I think the concern there wouldn't be lack of people, but lack of real estate for people who want to buy house there. lol
Exactly. I've just been saying how my country's administrative capital, Putrajaya, was also a "ghost city" when it first started. That's how it is for planned urban areas. They need time to populate .
To have more than required is better than not having enough at all.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are living in the streets becos they do not have enough homes to bring down the prices. Their property moguls made sure houses are limited to keep the prices high.
Correct
