Ordos is kind of the 'original' ghost city, the one that sparked Western curiosity.

There's a lot of reporting about it subsequently.

It looks like folks are indeed moving in, but maybe not at the rate that would make sense.

Ordos was never a ghost city, one of its newly built far out districts, Kangbashi, was. Chinese cities are more like counties that contain multiple municipalities.
