Meixihu

[1] In 2016, Business Insider featured a photograph of Meixihu Lake sub-district taken in 2015, highlighting it as one of the large Chinese cities described as "completely empty of people."

The photographer, Kai Caemmerer, noted the unique approach to urban development in China, where cities are constructed to a near-complete state before residents are introduced, contrasting with the incremental growth typically seen in U.S.

[2][3] By 2020, the subdistrict covered an area of 20.2 square kilometers (7.8 sq mi) and a permanent population of 100,138, with 39,025 individuals holding local household registration.

[citation needed] The population of the subdistrict has grown significantly since its establishment, reaching 100,138 permanent residents in 2020, including 39,025 with household registration.

It runs through an arc of four circular groups, with a total of 200 3D sprinkler heads, four large lasers and 1000 LED lights.

The development of national innovation-oriented science and technology parks is promoted in high-tech zones, forming high-end industrial clusters.

For public buildings with centralized air conditioning system, cold and heat metering devices should be set up in different floors, indoor areas, users or rooms.
