China has an unusual tourist spot, bang in the middle of a highway. And this tourist spot is actually a tiny house of a woman who refused to give up her property to the government in exchange for compensation, for the past 10 years. Left with no choice, the government built a four-lane highway around her house. Wedged in between the Haizhuyong Bridge, the tiny house attracts tourists from across the country, who are amused by the woman’s refusal to sell her house to the government. Read on to know more.
Four-Lane Highway Built Around Woman’s House In China
Popularly known as ‘nail house’ or ‘dingzihu’ in Mandarin, a tiny house in Guangzhou wedged between two wings of Haizhuyong Bridge, a four-lane highway has captured the attention of the world. A nail house is a house where the owner rejects the compensation offered by the developer to have the property demolished. The charming little house is tightly pressed between the bridge and nestled in a pit. The owner Liang revealed to Daily Mail that she refused to move out because the government didn’t give her a suitable property to relocate. One of the flats given to her was located next to a morgue.
