Construction of new apartment blocks continues apace in the Chinese city of Chenggong, despite the fact that it's already the biggest ghost town in Asia.<br />Chenggong is 20 kilometers southeast of Kunming and has a population of 300,000. It's a new city that was planned in 2003 and was supposed to have 1 million inhabitants by 2020. But people refuse to move to Chenggong because it suffers from a lack of amenities and has a crappy public transportation system. Vacant new apartments and abandoned stores are everywhere.<br />Even though the city is not attracting new residents, the municipal government is still building more apartments and modern condominiums.<br />This city looks like nothing so much as a scene from the movie 28 Days Later if the Chinese government had played Sim City with the cheat codes enabled in real life.<br />We expect to see this ghost town to continue to expand in size.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
