Highway built around a house

Last night on the news they showed a clip of a man in the city of Wenling, located in China’s eastern province of Zheijang, where a highway has been built around a residential building. The man that refuses to relocate, Luo Baogen is unsatisfied with the relocation compensation offered by the government. So him and his wife have decided to remain in the half-demolished building.

According to China Daily, the road, which leads to the Wenling Railway Station, hasn’t been put into use yet. Even though all of the other residents have moved out, the government has not demolished the other rooms for sake of the remaining couple’s safety. 

A portion of the five-story building was demolished to make room for the freeway

A recent change in Chinese law prohibits the demolition of a home without the express written consent of the homeowner.


Apart from seeing people picking their noses or applying make-up, what strange things have you come across on the highway?
