Join YPT for full-on urban exploration in the ghost city of Kangbashi!
If you’ve ever spent any time in a Chinese city you’ll be well used to the throng, walking the night markets where it seems like every conceivable snack is on offer or pushing your way through people trying to sell you things outside train stations. Kangbashi is different, and it is almost a welcome novelty having almost a whole city square, a hospital, train station or apartment complex to ourselves.
You can explore half finished mansion complexes and residential buildings, empty hospitals and museums as well as the huge 80,000-seater stadium with not a soul inside. You can climb the sand dunes with empty apartment blocks looming behind and go from an actual yurt where we have a Mongolian style lunch to the huge yurt-like airport which connects to Beijing.
Kangbashi is not an abandoned city but a new city waiting for people to come, and you can have the freedom to explore the city as you like, with our YPT guide and local driver ready to check out any new places that catch the eye.
This intriguing trip can be done as one of our planned extensions from our current tours, or as a flexible independent package escorted by one of our expert YPT guides. For those interested in starting or finishing the tour in another Chinese city other than Beijing please notify us and we can make your arrangements.
Our October Ghost City tour connects perfectly with our Real Deal tour, the most extensive tour we do in North Korea.
