2. A private mountain on top of a building
This millionaire from Beijing, Zhang Biqing, was already the owner of a 26-story building. But that wasn’t enough: he decided to build a private mountain on top of it. It has everything you’d expect from a Chinese mountain: trees, rocks, grass, pathways, benches to sit on and a lot more.
Zhang Biqing thought he had created the ultimate country getaway in the middle of a city, but unfortunately his dream didn’t last very long. During the six years it took to construct the artificial mountain, he got a lot of complaints from neighbors. After too many of them, local authorities issued an order for Biqing to tear down his pride and joy.
