Ghost cities of China

Everything truly is bigger in China - they have ghost cities, not ghost towns, and they are huge. In fact, it would be easy to run out of adjectives trying to describe their size:

There's city after city full of empty streets and vast government buildings, some in the most inhospitable locations. It is the modern equivalent of building pyramids.
By some estimates [there are] up to 64 million vacant homes.

Business Insider highlights some of these ghost cities, which you can check out here. (Highlights include a completely empty avante-garde art museum, a deserted $19 billion development, and a university designed for 2.3 million students that has 11,000 enrolled.)
