Zhengzhou most definitely was never a ghost city, being one of China's 8 ancient capitals. Maybe they meant zhengdong? Ghost cities in china are almost always underpopulated districts of existing large cities.

Zhengzhou was a ghost city and hasn't been a capital for more than 2000 years. Its developing to major city in China in the modern sense only begins in 20th century, after the railway traffic prosperous here.

They do exist. http://daxfohl.blogspot.com/2008/05/week-4-great-ride-giving...

But I agree Zhengzhou is not one of them.
