Imagine this: You saved up a ton of money and you heard about this new development.
It promises you a harmonious living surrounded by nature with “park views”.
Then, you go to the viewing gallery and see an artist impression of your dream house.

Omo! Is that a lake right in the middle of the estate? Who needs a swimming pool when you can have that?!
So you got a loan, start working your ass off to save up and bought a unit from the estate.
You know the price tag’s going to be hefty when we add in the word, nature.
Fast Forward A Few Months Later
And the developers tell you to come down and get your keys.

Oh my, nature! Dream home! Here we come~
And so, you excitedly collected your keys.
On the way to your new home, you and your other half is going crazy talking about what you’re going to do when you first get there.
Would you go straight up to your apartment?

Maybe, dip your legs in the lake?
Or-Â Hey! How about an #OOTD to brag about our new purchase?
And everything came to a screeching halt because, well, you realised you got trolled.

You’ve heard of this before. It’s usually used for food. Y’know, products that don’t really have too much of a change.
But this is probably the first time you’ve seen it apply to houses.

That blue lake you were so excited about?
Turns out it’s exactly like the artist’s impression you saw a couple of months back.
It’s made of blue plastic, designed to look like a water body from afar.
But when you go closer…
Turns out it’s not that impressive after all.

But hey, you could always play hopscotch on it?
Developers Said They Didn’t Promise A Lake
So, you’re wondering, how is the developer going to respond? I mean, they can’t exactly run away now, right?
And you’re right; Changsha Shiji Yujing Real Estate company, the developer behind the estate, isn’t going to run away.
Instead, here’s what they have to say:
They didn’t mention anything about a man-made lake within the development. All they promised was that homeowners will be living close to nature.
What a troll.

I don’t know about you but if I was a buyer, I’ll probably want to murder anybody who said that.
Hopefully, the developer and homeowners are able to come up with a solution to the situation because getting plastic instead of water?
Not cool, man. Not cool.
Here’s what NCMPs are, and what to expect after GE2025:
