Another "Ghost Town" in China, Once Home to Hundreds of Thousands of People

Recently, some new towns and districts have also been classified as "ghost towns." As a result, the "ghost town" phenomenon has become a major issue that deserves attention and reflection in the construction of new towns and districts in China. There is a place in China that is another "ghost town," once home to hundreds of thousands of people, but now a deserted ruin! Curious friends may ask, where is this "ghost town" in China? What secrets does it hold? With these questions and curiosity in mind, let's talk about the Lenghu Oil Base Ruins. The Lenghu Oil Base Ruins are located in Lenghu Town, Mangya City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. The ruins include the old base (about 10 km northwest of Lenghu Town), No. 4 (Lenghu Town), and No. 5 (about 15 km southeast of Lenghu Town) oil ruins. These ruins were formed after the relocation of the original Qinghai Petroleum Administration Bureau to Dunhuang City and the relocation of the frontline to Huatugou Town before 1992, and the overall demolition. They are a historical witness to the history of oil exploration and development in New China.
