Homes that become examples of resistance.

In terms of construction activity, China's record is impressive, with construction ranging from a 1,640-foot-wide radio telescope to a 26-mile-long bridge.

But new construction requires space and local residents have to vacate their space for this purpose, but most people in China refuse to leave their homes because they think compensation is being paid too little.

These places left in the middle of development projects in China are called 'nail houses' because they look like nails.

Here are some of the nail hoses that will amaze you.

One such house is located on the 4-lane motorway in Zhengzhou, which narrows the road to 2 lanes, and vehicles have to be very careful to pass through. Residents of the house have been living there since October 2016, when the highway was completed and opened to traffic. The owners of the house were offered a large sum of money by the local administration, but they refused.
