From an unsold ‘ghostly’ flat, to a residential lift with just 1 stop and sushi restaurant with rotating rodent, bizarre stories abound in China
Today, the SCMP offers a glimpse into some recent quirky moments, from a “haunted” flat that keeps getting resold, to a lift that stops at only one floor and a sushi conveyor belt hijacked by a “Mickey” mouse.
On April 1, a flat in Chengdu, Sichuan province in southwestern China, where there had been an unnatural death, was listed for auction for the third time, with bidding set to begin on April 14.
The listing has once again attracted widespread attention because the property had already been auctioned twice, in November, last year and January, at a higher starting price of 266,000 yuan (US$40,000).
The final bids reached 1.056 million yuan (US$155,000) and 966,000 yuan, respectively, but both auctions failed.
