Ordos is a city located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. It is known for its rapid economic growth and urban development, particularly since the early 2000s. The city has a rich history and is situated near the Yellow River, which has influenced its culture and economy. One of the most notable features of Ordos is the Kangbashi New Area, a planned urban district that was designed to accommodate a large population. Despite its modern infrastructure, Kangbashi has faced challenges with low occupancy rates, leading to it being referred to as a "ghost city."
