You might have heard of ghost towns; we even have our very own spooky corner in Ras Al Khaimah’s Jazeerat Al Hamra. There are places where residents have long moved out, and there are places that never brought in much residents in the first place, like the Kangbashi district in Ordos, China. One of the twelve major subdivisions of Inner Mongolia, Ordos is also home to a namesake race track, called the Ordos International Circuit.

According to Racingcircuits.info, the 3.7km circuit opened in 2010 and is the first track to be designed and developed entirely independently by the Chinese. Taking its inspiration from local culture, the unusual track layout mimics the outline of a horse dashing down from the grasslands, while the main grandstand features a roofline in the shape of a swooping eagle.
