In 2010, the Greenland Group bought up hectares of land around Shenyang, China, and started a construction project called the State Guest Mansion. The project aimed to build a retreat for the rich people in the region. Soon, 260 European-style villas with marble floors appeared in the area. However, the estate developer left the project unfinished in 2018 without any clear explanation. Therefore, the property turned into a luxury ghost village. Today, the village is not completely abandoned, but some farmers use the place for raising cattle, and they plow the gardens.
