A Nail Building In Nanning, China

Aerial photo shows a "nail building" in downtown Nanning, South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Dec 9, 2022. The sides of the building have been stripped down. It has been four years since the demolition began in 2019. Now the whole building has been abandoned, no one to live in, the house in the middle of the open space has grown taller than the house a tree, the house around the weeds have grown about 2 meters high. Many people were still working in the vegetable fields on that day. In recent years, with the acceleration of urbanization, due to the reconstruction of old cities and villages, some places will inevitably be demolished, which was originally a good opportunity to improve the living conditions of residents, but because of the compensation, resettlement and other issues, there are always some "nail houses".
