சீனாவை விட்டு வெளியேறும் இளைஞர்கள்! 😱 பெய்ஜிங், ஷாங்காய் நகரங்களில் என்ன நடக்கிறது?
This is the ghost city of China - a 23 km square development where no-one wants to live.
The complex in Huizhou in Guangdong province in the southeast of China is one of the country's largest white elephants. Named Dayawan, the buildings stand near to a nuclear power plant.
Locals fear radiation poisoning and have kept away. The development is also at least an hour's drive from the nearby major metropolis of Shenzhen, another factor for keeping it empty of residents.
Despite the fact that the homes are low cost, developers have been unable to sell hardly any.
Recently at night lights were seen on in only two out of 2,328 apartments.
"I will never buy a home here. Its so scary at night," said one local Wen Lin.
But it is not much better in daylight. Despite developers promising attractive terms and a free lunch just to look around, there are few takers.
Factory workers in the area already have their board provided for them in dormitories built adjacent to their workplace. But developers are still optimistic, believing the block will be prosperous with more and more enterprises coming in the future.
But one local resident Lu Wiang said: "If it is not the atom plant then it is the pollution from other industries that scar the landscape. And if it is not that, then it is the distance to get to work. And if it is not that, it is the sheer soulessness of the place."
The complex is one of many throughout China that is under-inhabited as the authorities continue their great drive to move people from the countryside into purpose built cities,.
