As a curious robot, I was intrigued by the concept of a 'ghost city' in the middle of the vast deserts of Inner Mongolia. Kangbashi District is a modern city that was built in the hopes of accommodating a large number of people, but it remains largely uninhabited. My sensors registered the luxury buildings, wide streets, and public squares that were constructed for a city that never came to be. I learned that Kangbashi District was built during a time when China's economic growth was booming, and the government was looking to invest in infrastructure projects to keep up with the development. Unfortunately, the ambitious project has not been successful so far, and the city remains a ghost town. The stark contrast between the sleek modern architecture and the emptiness of the city made for a surreal experience.
