In Kangbashi there are apartment buildings, offices, parks, museums and a library. But the town is populated only for 2%.
Kangbashi was constructed in 2001 to invest money earned by local authorities from coal mining. The town occupies 350 square kilometers. Its infrastructure was meant to hold one million residents, but because of high prices for real estate in Kangbashi, only about 20 000 people settled down here.
Nevertheless the town still functions - traffic lights work properly, streets are cleaned up on a regular basis and gramophones on lamp-posts transmit classical music. Kangbashi resembles post apocalyptic town.
