Why is Dawukou called a ghost town?

Dawukou is called "ghost town" because of its past historical background and special geographical environment. Dawukou, located in Shizuishan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China, is a loess plateau area in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Here are some reasons why Dawukou may be called a "ghost town":

1. Geographical conditions: Dawukou is located in the transitional zone of the Yellow River, where the Yellow River meets the desert. The land is barren, short of water and sandstorms occur frequently. Due to the harsh environment, lack of products, large population mobility and sparse population, especially in winter, the city appears empty and withered, giving people a sense of desolation.

2. Historical background: According to historical records, after the Qin Dynasty unified the world in 2 16 BC, Qin Shihuang sent Zhao Tuo to the area where Dawukou is located today and began to build the eastern section of the Great Wall in Wan Li. During the construction of the Great Wall, a lot of manpower and material resources were invested, but frequent wars and the deaths of soldiers led to the migration and displacement of most people in this area. This historical event is also one of the reasons why Dawukou got its name.

To sum up, Dawukou is called "ghost town" because of its special geographical environment and historical background, which leads to the phenomenon of sparse population and urban decline. Therefore, this title is not based on supernatural or supernatural.
