The princely “ mountain villa ” build atop a Beijing high - procession is being buck down . The $ 4 million penthouse was built by a Chinese wellness tutelage entrepreneur named Zhang Lin on the roof of an existing apartment building earlier this year , much to the chagrin of its party - pooper occupants .
To ramp up his altogether unregulated shangri - lanthanum , Lin ’s construction squad had installed extra steel beam along the facade of the existing edifice — theoretically offset the extra exercising weight . But tenant below complained of outburst pipes and cracked walls , and back in August , official demanded that Lin demolish the structure . “ Now I see it was a huge mistake , ” aforlorn Lintold the New York Times .
A mistake , mayhap , but a glorious one . [ The People ’s DailyviaCurbed ]
