Thousands of people live in one of China’s largest apartment block which is so well equipped residents never actually have to leave.<\/h2>\n

This company is able to provide residents with everything they need, so they never have to go outside again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding the right place to live can prove to be difficult because you want it to be as perfect as possible.<\/p>\n

You want to make sure its in a decent location for work, easy to see friends and family, is affordable, maybe even has entertainment close by, right?<\/p>\n

Well, imagine if you never had to really leave your apartment block and could essentially get all the things you need.<\/p>\n

Would that be a utopian dream or a dystopian nightmare?<\/p>\n

It seems at least 20,000 people are living that reality regardless in one of\u00a0China<\/a>\u2019s largest buildings.<\/p>\n

Would this be a utopian dream or a dystopian nightmare? (TikTok\/@fatheristheone)<\/cite><\/div>\n

These thousands of people live in a complex known as the Regent International, a colossal building in Qianjiang Century City, located in Hangzhou\u2019s central business district.<\/p>\n

Now, why don\u2019t the people living here tend to leave? Well, because all of their necessities are pretty close to them.<\/p>\n

Of course, the building cannot provide fresh air unless you open a window, so you’re probably going to want to head for some air and stretch your legs once in a while.<\/p>\n

The amazing-looking building stands at 675ft tall, offering 260,000 square metres of space, subsequently making it one of the largest buildings in China.<\/p>\n

The complex can accommodate up to 30,000 residents, however, it does currently house a slightly lower number of 20,000.<\/p>\n

You’re probably thinking what amazing facilities does this building have to keep people inside. Well, this is very much dependant on what side of the building you live on.<\/p>\n

But whatever side it may be, you are going to find facilities just like you’d find in your local town.<\/p>\n

This includes a massive\u00a0food<\/a>\u00a0court, barber shops, nail salons, medium-sized supermarkets, swimming pools, and even internet cafes.<\/p>\n

The building has previously gone\u00a0viral<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0thanks to\u00a0TikTok<\/a>\u00a0coverage of its facilities.<\/p>\n

While what is inside is certainly impressive, the sheer scale of the building is what has grabbed many people’s attentions online.<\/p>\n

In a video uploaded to TikTok by the user @fatheristheone, the immensity of the building is showcased with incredible drone footage.<\/p>\n

When the building was designed by Alicia Loo, the chief designer of the world\u2019s second seven-star hotel, the Singapore Sands Hotel, it was intended to be a six-star hotel.<\/p>\n

But it now thrives as a building boasting thousands of apartments and hosting even more residents.<\/p>\n

The swanky apartments are popular amongst students, graduates and young professionals.<\/p>\n

And if you’re curious about how much it costs to live here, small apartments without windows (yes, you read that correctly) usually go for around 1,500 RMB per month ($210), according to local news outlets.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some of the larger properties with balconies are on the market for 4,000 RMB per month ($570).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
