Have you ever imagined what it would be like to live in a sparsely populated "ghost town"? With low rent, beautiful scenery and fresh air, it sounds like an ideal place to live. However, when night falls, the city reveals its unknown side. Today, let us uncover the mystery of this "ghost town" and explore daily life there.
In this city, it’s not easy to go out at night and find a hot bowl of noodle soup or spicy hotpot. When you walk on an empty street, there is silence all around, with only a few lights flickering in the distance. This scene is reminiscent of the eerie atmosphere of Silent Hill. In fact, due to the sparse population, many communities are almost completely dark at night, and small restaurants are even harder to find.
In order to solve the problem of dinner, you may need to drive dozens of kilometers to find a few open restaurants. This situation far exceeded many people's expectations. During the day, there are only a few small restaurants to choose from. The takeout options are not only limited, but also expensive, and the delivery time takes about an hour. Therefore, the most convenient way is to buy and cook your own food.
In this city, small and medium-sized supermarkets have become the main place for residents’ daily shopping. There are one or two supermarkets every few kilometers, and the prices are relatively reasonable. In addition, the market is also a unique place for shopping. However, the market is shorter, usually only open in the morning, and located in scattered locations, only opening every four days. Nonetheless, the seafood at the market is eye-catching. Scallops fished by locals are very cheap during this season, and Rushan’s specialty oysters can be seen everywhere.
When it comes to transportation, having your own means of transportation is particularly important. Although there are buses here, they are less frequent and the places accessible are limited. During the cold season, both waiting and walking can become a challenge. However, if you have a car, the wide roads and few vehicles will provide you with a comfortable driving experience.
Medically, the city has a public hospital which, although small, should be able to handle common ailments. In addition, basic life services such as banks, pharmacies and hairdressers are also available, but in limited quantities. Therefore, most goods other than food need to be purchased online, and express delivery usually takes three or four days. Although the express delivery will not be delivered downstairs, the collection point is right at the entrance of the community, which is quite convenient.
However, the biggest inconvenience of living in a "ghost town" is the lack of heating in winter. In the cold December, there is often light snow in the sky, the indoor temperature continues to be around 11 degrees Celsius, and the air humidity is as high as 75%. Living in such an environment, even if you are fully armed, you will inevitably shiver with cold, let alone go out to play.
In general, although life in a "ghost town" has a beautiful environment and low rent, the inconveniences of daily life are also obvious. There are far more houses than there are people in the city, resulting in a lack of commercial services and further dispersion of the population. This situation is difficult to reverse in a short period of time. Still, ghost town life attracts those looking for a unique experience. If you are interested in such a life, you might as well explore it yourself.
