Bridge built around house after owner refuses to move in China

A bridge was built around a house after the owner refused to move as they were not satisfied with their new flat in eastern China.

The video, filmed in the city of Guangzhou in Guangdong Province on August 3, shows a 10-square-metre house left standing in the middle of a newly-built bridge.

Local residents were seen visiting and taking pictures of the house, while the house owner Ms Liang was being interviewed.

According to Liang, the new flat provided by the local government was opposite a hospital's morgue, so she refused to move there.

Since the local authorities cannot reach an agreement with Ms Liang, they changed the design of the bridge and built it around her house.

The local authorities are still negotiating with the house owner.
