Small ghost town in Tibet？ Where is everyone?

[xizhimen]

A vlogger passes through a small Tibetan town in the deep Himalaya mountains close to India and Nepal, she really envies the roomy and spacious houses the locals live in, but the small town is so quiet and very few people can be seen on the streets, where is everyone? In the end, eventually she found the townfolks, many of them are dancing at the town's public square.

Western media always tries to make people believe that China is filled with ghost towns, they never try to tell the real story.

Ghost town in Xinjiang?

What a 5 years old town looks like, town of Kunyu in Southern Xinjiang​

Kunyu town in Southern Xinjiang is only 5 years old, it doesn't have many people but all the facilities and green belts are top notch

China builds differently from what the west does, China tends to find a big piece of land and then will do a complete comprehensive city plan, after that will build this area up complete complete with all city facilities, houses, roads, sewers, garbage disposal, schools ,hospitals, stadiums, museums, parks..... China believes it'll save a lot of unneccesory cost in building this way.
Only after everything is completed will the government start to gradually move people in, so in the first couples of years, these new development areas do look like "ghost towns", and they become the prime targets being used by western media to smear China.
