China's upside-down house
-
China's upside-down house was built as a tourist attraction using everyday household items and furniture.
An amazing upside-down house has opened to tourists in Fengjing, an ancient Chinese town located near Shanghai.
The inverted building has two floors and includes fixtures and fittings.
Inside the house the furnishings, which include sofas plus table and chairs, have all been stuck to the floor, which is now the ceiling.
The house presents visitors with the opportunity to take some unique and fun photographs
There is even a fully furnished bathroom inside the house, although thankfully the toilet is not one that can be used.
One visitor told the BBC he felt disorientated walking through the house. 'I feel a little dizzy,' he said. 'All the furnishings are upside down and I think the floor is sloping a bit, that's why I feel dizzy.'
The old town of Fengjing is a popular destination for tourists and is known for its ancient stone bridges dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. It remains to see if this building will stand a similar test of time.
A Polish design company reportedly took five months to complete the house from the roof up. It is now open to the public for US$5 a visit.
