The verdict
Wary · 25Viewers mostly joke about Ordos as an empty ghost city, with the only real-resident content being a tiny expat video; little firsthand evidence of living there, so the verdict leans toward avoid for a remote worker.
- unusual modern architecture
- quiet and solitude
- novelty for visitors
- mostly empty, few residents
- ghost-town feeling
- lack of people and life
- thin expat information
