Dantu District
Dantu District (simplified Chinese: 丹徒区; traditional Chinese: 丹徒區; pinyin: Dāntú Qū) is one of three districts of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, China. A development called Dantu New City was constructed in the district and was underoccupied since around 2005 and criticized as a ghost city by international media.[2] However, since 2013 the development has been filling up with residents with many operating shops and offices, becoming a functional suburb of urban Zhenjiang.[3][4]
