Road built round house in China after owners won't move!

The house is in the city Wenling, China, where officals have demolished a neighbourhood to make  way for a new motorway.

But the couple living in this house refused to budge - saying they weren't offered enough money to go.

" I just want  them to build a another house  for me" said the homeowner Luo Baogen

"They can build a house of the same size somewhere else and get it decorated as my house."

The money Mr Luo was offered was only about three times less than he did spent on buying the house.

Mr. Lou said that the water and the electricity are still flowing.

He also said he and his wife sleep  in separate parts of the home - to stop anyone from trying to knock down a part of it.

The road hasn't been opened to traffic yet.

Situations like this aren't uncommon in China.

The city of Wenling is developing the area by building a train station, businesses, hotels, shopping malls and factories.
