Why is Shiyan, Hubei Province called a ghost town?

Shiyan City was dubbed a "ghost town" mainly due to the real estate market.

Because there are many real estate projects under development in Shiyan City in 2020, countless of them, such as Hechang International City, Damei Shengcheng and Ocean Continent are all large real estate projects covering an area of ??more than 2 million square meters.

There are also many small real estates, such as Wanxiu City, No. 9 Mansion, Huaxia Mansion, Sifang New Town, Lanfei River Bank, etc., but no one lives in them, so many places are dark at night. Because of this, Shiyan was named one of the top ten ghost towns in China.
