Only a handful of families have moved into Chengdu’s Qiyi City Forest Garden because of an infestation, state media have reported.
The project in the southwestern city was built in 2018, with every private balcony designed to provide space for plants to grow, according to local media reports.Without any tenants to care for them, the eight towers have been overrun by their own plants—and invaded by mosquitoes.
Plants have almost entirely swallowed up some neglected balconies, with branches hanging over railings all over the towers, footage shot this month showed.But some residents appeared to have braved the mosquitoes—a handful of balconies had pruned plants and outdoor furniture, and lights turned on inside the apartments.Connected learningThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
