- Aerial view of the two “nail houses” encircled by an overpass connecting the Zhoutouzui Tunnel in Guangzhou, in south China's Guangdong Province, on August 11, 2015. The houses were set to be demolished to create space for a bridge which would connect an elevated expressway to a newly opened underground tunnel, reported China News Service. While most of the residents accepted the relocation compensation, three families refused to move out of their homes. The construction workers had no other choice but to build an overpass around the lonely houses. The company has promised to surround the buildings with a noise barrier to make things more tolerable for the residents.Liu Jiao / Imaginechina / Corbis

- Aerial view of arrays of tombs at a cemetery in Kunshan, east China's Jiangsu Province, on March 21, 2015. The cost of where a person is laid to rest when he dies has been soaring in China almost as quickly as where to live when he is alive. Although the government has been promoting what are considered frugal, even “green” funerals (such as at sea), the cost of securing a traditional cemetery plot can be astronomical, according to industry insiders. In Shanghai, the average price of a plot, usually about one square meter, is at least 35,000 yuan ($5,650) and some prime cemetery plots can cost more than 100,000 yuan, much higher than the price, per square meter, of a luxury apartment.Ji Haixin / Imaginechina / Corbis
