I've never been to a dead mall, but I think I know what the feeling would be like. I remember some years ago going to a Kmart (I don't remember why). I think besides one person running the cash register, and a janitor, I was the only person there. The shelves were fully stocked, it was pristine, and eerily silent.
It was like I was in a research lab's clean room or something.

Dead malls are surprisingly common in China, just that they were never live and just overbuilt enough to never have tenants.
I encourage everyone to check out their local dead mall, especially one that you visited when you were a kid. Lots of strange nostalgia to be had for sure. Bring rollerblades or a skateboard if you want to get adventurous.
