"A three-storey building in China...


...could possibly be the world's thinnest. At one end it measures only 0.4 metres wide, while it is three metres wide at the other. The building in Haikou, Hainan Island was built three years ago. The government appropriated most of the land the property is built on from its owner, leaving him with only 20 square metres. The owner then built the skinny building on his remaining land as a way of protesting. Local residents are now worried that the thin building may be blown over as Hainan Island is famous for its frequent typhoons."
