At least 20,000 people are currently experiencing this situation in one of China's biggest structures.

Thousands of people reside in Regent International, a large complex located in Qianjiang Century City, which is in the central business district of Hangzhou.

The reason why people in this area don't usually move away is because everything they need is nearby.

Naturally, the building won't have fresh air unless you open a window, so it's a good idea to step outside for some fresh air and to stretch your legs from time to time.

The tall building is 675 feet high and has 260,000 square meters of space, making it one of the biggest buildings in China.

The building complex can accommodate a maximum of 30,000 residents, but currently, it has approximately 20,000 residents. You may be curious about the amenities provided by this building to keep its residents engaged. However, the facilities available vary depending on the side of the building you reside in.

You can find anything you need in the building, so technically you don't even need to go outside. Designed by Alicia Loo, the chief designer of the world's second seven-star hotel, the Singapore Sands Hotel, the Regent International building was inaugurated in 2013, and quickly became one of the most popular edifices in Hangzhou. The majority of its residents are young professionals who recently graduated college or are about to graduate, but you can also find young influencers as well as small businesses. According to an article by Chinese news agency Sina, smaller apartments without windows usually rent for around 1,500 RMB ($220) per month, while larger units with balconies can rent for up to 4,000 RMB (550 USD) per month or more. Judging by the bustling atmosphere, Regent International has plenty of tenants. Offering more than 260,000 square meters of space, the Regent International apartment building in Hangzhou is one of the largest of its kind in China. The number of inhabitants has been a matter of debate on Chinese social media, but judging by the number of rooms and the number of floors, it is estimated that between 11,000 and 22,000 people live in the building at any given time. #hangzhouregentinternational #apartmentliving #chinatiktok
