A Surreal Skateboarding Journey Through China's Infamous Ghost Town
By Alessandra Ram --- Oct 15 2012, 4:36 PM ET
In this video, director Charles Lanceplaine follows a group of skaters looking to try their tricks in a new and different
environment -- only to discover a glittering, modern city devoid of human occupants.
Originally built to house one million residents, the city of Ordos in northern China is now almost completely deserted.
Despite China’s much-lauded building boom, soaring property prices have kept occupants at bay. Ordos is now the
largest ghost town in China -- thought to be a stark example of China’s impending real estate bubble.
