Apparently, a couple of years ago, 60 Minutes did a documentary on one of China's largest ghost cities--the new business district in eastern Zhengzhou. So let's go take a look and see how this ghost city is getting along.
I would have written about this before, but I had no idea that there were people who thought this was a ghost city. It's because I go there fairly often, mainly for the restaurants, and also for the art market.
Jade. This one could be yours for the price of a small house. In Toronto.
In the spring there was a significant pottery exhibit in the art market.
Brunch at London Glo, in the new business district.
A bit disappointing I haven't found time for the art gallery yet. Or the opera house. Or the Symphony. All of which look a bit like striped easter eggs.
The area is huge. Except for me, everyone, and I mean everyone, goes around by car.
The Soyoo Joy Club. I had to manoeuver through a parking lot full of high-end cars to take this. I was a bit worried at what might be inside.
Farther east, as I neared the east train station, I began to find skyscrapers that were still under construction.
Glorious skyscrapers, surrounded by merchants trying to eke out a living, selling 75-cent meals. Just like in Blade Runner!
