[1/6] Home buyers stand inside an unfinished residential building of the Gaotie Wellness City complex in Tongchuan, Shaanxi province, China September 12, 2023.
"I almost never drink water, wash my face or brush my teeth," said Shi, 39, who moved into the Gaotie Wellness City complex in May.
I have no money now, I've lost my family property and all that's left is this unfinished building."
Tongchuan city government and China's housing ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
To enter the complex, residents pick their way through an overgrown field, past abandoned construction machinery to a hole in the wall.
