Wo Shi Laowai – Wo Pa Shui

So, Zhu Jin there at China Radio International, I don’t know from which Lonely Planet you’ve fetched those towns in America, Taiwan, Cyprus, Japan, Italy, and Ukraine, but I can tell you where to go if you want to see some ghost cities in your neighbourhood. Take a look at these top-ten:

1. Beijing: http://www.morningsun.org/living/dying/mao_end.html
2. Changchun: http://www.jaunted.com/city/Changchun
3. Dongguan: http://liveable.dg.gov.cn/life/sports4.htm
4. Xinji: http://www.theworld.org/?q=node/19347
5. Maanshan: http://apps.ah.gov.cn/showcontent.asp?newsid=1428
6. Huangbaiyu: http://www.jetsongreen.com/2008/03/huangbaiyu-toug.html
7. Kowloon Walled City: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City
8. Jinan: http://torchrelay.beijing2008.cn/en/journey/cities/n214036948.shtml
9. Huhehaote: http://image52.webshots.com/52/0/59/24/412505924PXkJQD_fs.jpg
10. Dalian, the ‘Pearl of the Orient’: http://www.runsky.com/homepage/english/pictures/images/00019481.jpg
11. Fengdu: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3084374.stm (Sorry, I’m exceeding the limit.)

And there were twenty more in the pipeline for 2001 alone, if Doje Cering kept his promise.

Why search every low and high,
When spooky things could not be closer by?
