Kangbashi District (Chinese: 康巴什区; Mongolian: ᠬᠢᠶᠠ ᠪᠠᠭᠰᠢ ᠳᠤᠭᠤᠷᠢᠭ, Hiya Bagsi dûgûrig) is an urban district of the prefecture-level city of Ordos in Inner Mongolia, China.
The district is internationally known for its opulent civic square and monuments and in 2009, made global headlines for having a population of around 30,000 people, which was considered small relative to the grandeur of the built-up space, and was deemed as a "ghost city". However the district's population has grown since in the years afterwards, and had reportedly reached a size of almost 120,000 people in 2021.
