In a bizarre dispute, a skyscraper has been built around a tombstone in the city of Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi province in China.
Building developers bought a cemetery with an eye to building a series of skyscrapers on the land. Prior to construction, locals were paid to relocate the graves, yet one family refused the proposed terms, forcing developers to build around the landmass.

So that's a nail grave then?
Alex per this quote from link "The term “nail house” is being used to describe the homes of property owners in China (often referred to as stubborn nails) who refuse to co-operate and make room for proposed developments" I would guess so...
Sometimes it seems like China and Detroit , with its urban tree farms, are the most interesting places we have.
