What is it like to live above the 50th floor?

Coincidentally, I happen to live in the 50th floor, which is the top floor, and I've been living there for just over a year. My biggest feeling is the excitement, not only visually, but also mentally, if you are afraid of heights, or if you are seasick, I don't recommend you to live in the upper floors because your body may not be able to cope.

A year ago, I was living in an older neighborhood. The house was built more than 20 years ago, and has only 6 floors. I live on the 6th floor because I don't like the feeling of having people on top of me, I don't have an elevator, and I need to climb stairs every day, and the house is so old that it's not even soundproofed, and the next door's blowing fan causes the wall to vibrate, which makes me very annoyed.

The environment of the district is not good, and most of the people living in it are old people, it feels like a nursing home. In order to be able to find a brand new living environment, I moved, and came to a brand new district inside, the highest floor of this district is 50 floors, and I chose the 50th floor, or in the same sentence, I don't like the feeling of having someone on top of me.

Visual experience

Just moved in that time, can not find a little home feeling, always feel like floating in the clouds, especially when standing in the floor to ceiling windows to look out, really is a glimpse of the mountains, sunny days can see the whole city, the night to appreciate the lights of a whole city, very beautiful, but standing in the floor to ceiling windows in front of the body always have a kind of uncontrollable feeling, leg and foot My body always wants to lean forward and my heart beats faster when I stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

I'm not afraid of heights, but standing on the 50th floor looking down, I still feel scared. My parents moved here at first, but they didn't live there for a week, so they immediately moved out, especially my mom, who said she wouldn't live in a house like this, and that she would not be able to cook without looking out the window, and that she would have shaky legs, palpitations, and couldn't breathe, and that her fear of heights was more powerful.

1, the weather is clear

Sunny days, my favorite thing is to see the sunrise, the bedroom curtains are not closed, every day are open, every day to wake up to feel the world's first ray of sunshine, lying in the quilt can see the sunrise, to the balcony to see the sea of clouds, a few years ago, I have been to see the sunrise of Taishan, to go to a trip! I think the sunrise inside the bedroom is almost the same as the sunrise in Taishan, but it's two different experiences, one is to sleep inside the quilt to see, one is wrapped in a military coat to see, can't be compared at all.

2, cloudy, foggy, windy days

Cloudy days, the clouds will be lower, just above the head, there is a kind of touching feeling, but in fact, the distance is very far, just visually very low.

When it's foggy, you basically can't see anything, the ground floor buildings downstairs are all buried by the fog, and it's a white blanket under your feet, so you can't see anything, but every time I come to this time, I think of the Journey to the West, because the fog is really very much like the fog in the heavens.

The windy days are when I am more cautious, living in the high-rise, usually the wind is not small, the indoor air circulation is very strong, the windy days are even more horrible, must close the window in time, otherwise the inside of the room will be in a mess, obviously the ground is only 6 level of moderate winds, but my house has a gale force of 8, I feel that every time the wind is up, it is to test the quality of the windows in my house.

The reason why my mother left was partly because she was afraid of heights, and partly because she was frightened by the windy days, and it felt like the whole house was shaking, and it felt like she was on a ship, and she was seasick, and she was under a lot of mental stress.

3, stormy weather

Stormy weather is the weather I'm most afraid of, this time the dark clouds are closer to themselves, lightning is even outside the window, I feel like a reach out to catch it, but I never dare to reach out, and every time I close the window tightly, close the curtains, and never get close to the window for fear that the lightning accidentally took I was taken away.

In the summer, after the rainstorm left, the probability is that there will be a rainbow, very big, hanging outside the window, very big, very big, important things to say three times.

The above is my visual experience of living on the 50th floor. Now that I've been there for a whole year, I've fully integrated into life and have discovered some of the advantages and disadvantages of living there, which I'd like to share with you.

1, good ventilation

ventilation is one of my biggest feelings, my house after the renovation did not go through the idle, also did not go through any formaldehyde treatment, I directly moved in, because the ventilation effect is very good, only to open the window, the room inside the formaldehyde can not be retained.

A room full of formaldehyde, not waiting for you to inhale two mouths, the whole room air was changed again, immediately dry and clean, personal feeling, ventilation is the best way to get rid of formaldehyde, of course, in the rainy days, my home windows are still honestly closed, this time there is no way to do it, can only be honest to inhale two mouths.

2, good light

Whether it is day or night, the room's light is very good, in the morning you can lie in the nest to see the sunrise, 2 balconies have sunshine all day long, the living room also has some sunshine, the room is very bright, the night can see the lights of a city, the feeling is really wonderful, every day you can see the sunrise, see the night view. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to watch the sunrise and the night view every day.

3, quiet

When I decorated, I used three layers of soundproof glass, after closing the window, almost can not hear any sound, open the window can only hear a little wind sound, no one upstairs, no one downstairs can noisy me, it is very suitable for rest.

4, privacy

I sleep every day, there is no habit of pulling the curtains, because there is nothing outside the window, there is no one can see me, unless there is a plane past, which is why I can see the sunrise every day when I open my eyes.

When I used to live in the old neighborhood, the house was only 6 floors, and there were a lot of high buildings next to it, and the distance between the buildings was relatively close, so I always felt that anyone could see me, and I didn't feel safe at all.

5, almost no mosquitoes

Previously, when I lived in the old neighborhood, outside the window is a tree, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, do not dare to open the window, do not dare to open the light, but after living in the 50th floor, the summer almost do not see any mosquitoes, the wind outside the window is too strong, I feel that they can not fly up to the 50th floor, and want to bite me. I can only fly up from the stairway one layer at a time, and very few of them actually fly up, and not many of them come up in the elevator.

1, the temperature difference between winter and summer

In summer, it is very hot, I live in the top floor, plus the sun is very big, so the indoor temperature is very high, the air conditioning can't be turned off for 24 hours a day, or I feel like I am living in a steamer basket.

In winter, it is very cold again, even after installing three layers of soundproof glass, but I can still hear the wind outside the window, like ghosts screaming, it is very annoying, and the floor heating can't be turned off 24 hours a day, and you can't open the window, or the floor heating is equal to not open.

2, the elevator is very slow

Although there has never been a power outage, but live in the 50th floor to go out once or more troublesome, especially in the commute to and from work during rush hour, down the stairs even need 3 minutes, at most once 5 minutes, late a few times after I have long remembered, every time to go out a little earlier, otherwise it will be in the elevator inside waste too much time. I have to leave the house a little bit earlier every time, otherwise I will waste too much time inside the elevator.

In addition to going to work, I stay at home almost every day, because a trip out of the door is really too much trouble, it takes a long time, so the shortcomings of cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and so on, it is impossible to go downstairs to buy, just a little bit of the past, and then the next day to bring it back by the way.

I've never experienced a power outage, but I did climb the stairs once again, and it took me 20 minutes to get home, and my legs and stomach hurt the next day, and I haven't climbed the stairs since.

3, often stop the water

may be because the water pressure is not up to, so every time you cook, the faucet is in a half-dead state, leeching and pulling, I feel that it is also to the middle-aged, in short, very annoying, the washing machine to wash the clothes, on the water to be half a day, the original 45 minutes of the fixed time, always have to be the whole 70 minutes! To complete, the toilet water than my big slow, speechless.

People a lot of high-rise neighborhoods are first pumped to the top floor, and then from the top to the bottom of the water supply, completely solve the problem of insufficient water pressure in the upper floors, but our neighborhoods have adopted a backward water supply system, this problem has been given to the property feedback, I do not know when and how to rectify the completion of the problem.

4, rainy days are scary

Just said, rainy days I must close the window, pull the curtains, do not dare to stand next to the window, is because lightning is too close to me, although the roof of the building on the lightning rod, but I'm still afraid of, and sometimes thunder is too strong, I will also turn off the phone, the TV is also turned off, afraid that a little signal will let the lightning locate. A little bit of signal will let the lightning locate me, giving me a lot of mental pressure.

Perhaps because I am too timid, my friend came to my home, must not feel this is a disadvantage, but rather more excited, has been standing on the balcony to play, but also asked me to help him shoot a "Thor photo", I feel that he is in the death.

5, accident can not escape

Once nap, half asleep half awake in the feeling of the house shaking, then not quite awake, feeling is not an earthquake? Instantly on the spirit, is ready to open the door to run, and suddenly thought I do not live in the 6 layer, but 50 layer, and can not take the elevator, thinking of their own physical strength and simply can not run away, then open the window to the downstairs to look at a person are not, the original did not have an earthquake, just the wind is big.

In fact, not only the earthquake can not run away, even if a fire is not good to get, it is too high, the ground fire equipment simply can not handle such a high fire, so I have been very careful, with the best electrical appliances, do not smoke, do not put any battery in the house.

I've seen some people who like to push their electric cars upstairs to charge them, and I have to say, they have really big hearts and aren't worried at all about a fire.

6, the delivery boy does not go upstairs

Because I do not like to go out, so I like to order takeout, before living 6 layers of step ladder, the delivery boy can climb up, now there is an elevator, the delivery boy instead of going upstairs, which makes me a little unacceptable, maybe they also know that taking the elevator wastes too much time.

7, bad signal

I'm sure it's not the cell phone, or the phone card, it's the signal, once I go downstairs the signal is very good, the phone calls go through, and the messages are very fast, but as soon as I get home the signal is very bad, so I missed some important calls, and I can only stabilize it if I connect to the wireless network.

Final Thoughts

This year, the stay experience is still very good, although I encountered a lot of shortcomings and some concerns, but this may be all due to timidity, now I have been able to slowly adapt to it, so now I can only see all kinds of advantages, such as the beautiful scenery, which puts me in a good mood every day.

If you don't have a fear of heights, don't get seasick, and love extreme views, then a 50+ story home will give you the happiest experience.

I lived on the 50th floor for 2 years, and I finally sold my house last month. It was so hopeless and scary, I will never live on the 50th floor again.

My family is living in the 50th floor, is the top floor, when I bought on the one hand is like high-level vision, on the other hand is the top floor is also much cheaper, but after living only to find too helpless, too regret. I thought I would get used to it after living there for a long time, but I found that I couldn't adapt to it at all, so I had to sell it. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a 50-story house and how I feel about it.

Advantages

1, no mosquitoes

In the 50th floor lived so long, almost never seen a mosquito, flies, and even rats have not been exempted from the bottom of the mosquito bites, the main thing is that even the cockroaches are almost no, I'm the kind of cockroach girls are very afraid of, I feel that this point is very much like, repellent mosquito-repellent incense, and so on, have never been bought.

2, good view

The most obvious benefit of the high floor is never lack of light, light is very sufficient, every morning when I woke up to the balcony to look at the broad view can make the mood become more cheerful. Standing on top of it, you can see far away, and the pedestrians on the road look like the size of ants. In the evening after dinner time the family like to sit on the balcony, look at the traffic outside, so cozy.

3, no noise

Listen to a lot of people are complaining about the noise of the ground floor, often hear the sound of the car, but in the upper floors is not the same, almost can not hear any noise, unless the road next to the car more, the ground on the ground shouting people can hardly hear. Since my house is on the top floor, I don't hear any noise from upstairs either. Sleeping at night is especially quiet and comfortable.

4, ventilation

The ventilation of the high floor is super good, almost any time the wind is very big, and even do not need a fan, when drying clothes need to be clamped to the clothes firmly clamped will not be blown away, the beginning of the live did not pay attention to the night to collect the clothes when the clothes were all blown away, was scolded by the family. In the south sometimes the weather will be more humid, but living in the upper floors will have no effect, the bottom of the humidity will be more serious.

Disadvantages

1, elevator

The most annoying thing about living in a high floor is the elevator problem, every day out of the house, we have to wait for a long time for the elevator, especially in the morning rush hour, and even for 10 minutes. If there is an emergency, there is really no way. In fact, the most afraid of the power outage, a power outage of two elevators can not work, there is a power outage, and had to go up, hard to climb the stairs of the 50th floor up, the whole person is paralyzed with fatigue, the legs also feel not their own.

When you buy something, you must pay attention to the size, if the elevator does not fit into the don't buy, climb so many floors to lift up the words really can not stand, then it is into the house when the relatives sent furniture, it is too big elevator does not fit into the last can only be returned to change the small.

For the elevator is really too helpless, every day to waste a lot of time on it, if then happen to power outages, elevator failure is even more helpless.

2, property costs

The common area of the high floor will be more than the ground floor, so the property costs are also a little more than the ground floor. My friend also lives in a high-rise, and their water bill is more expensive than the one on the ground floor, saying that the floor is high and needs extra equipment to ensure water pressure, but I don't live here.

3. It's scary

Living in a high-rise building can be a real concern for safety, such as earthquakes and fires, and in the event of an earthquake, it's not easy to get down from a place that high.

Before the district had a fire, it was in the middle of the night, sleep suddenly heard a neighbor very loud, urgent knocking, shouting: "fire, fire, get up" I immediately awake with my family, rushed to open the door to understand the situation. The fire was on the 30th floor. The hallway was filled with smoke, and my family and I were terrified. Rush according to the neighbor taught the method of wet towels tightly plugged door and window, and then the family fear in the house waiting for rescue

Because of the incident suddenly, and can not escape, looking at the rolling smoke outside the window, the whole family scared very badly, the children are scared to cry, but in the end in time to eliminate the fire.

High-rise is really special worry about security, sometimes really scary.

4, too much wind

High-rise ventilation is really good, sometimes it is too good, the wind is too strong, there is a small gap in the window at night, then you will hear the wind is very big sound. If all the windows are open, then the things in the house will be blown all over the place, once hit the typhoon, the window of the whole glass are blown off, fortunately did not hit the people, and finally can only take the bed boards down to temporarily block, think of it is also quite funny, hahahaha.

5, fear of heights

Fear of heights will be more afraid of, a lot of friends come to my house are not quite dare to look down on the balcony, there are old people in the house is not recommended to live in the upper floors, travel is not convenient, and then the old family members are generally more afraid of heights, they are not good for them.

6, building shaking

Building shaking really afraid, when encountered windy and rainy weather, the house will have a little shaking, typhoon weather is particularly obvious, although I know that the house will not fall, but the innate sense of fear or let me feel uneasy, similar to the feeling of the boat, the chandelier at home will follow the swaying up, it's too difficult.

The above is my feeling of living in the high-rise, although there are many benefits, but those bad I really can not accept, every day to wait so long for the elevator, I am timid, coupled with the community households, and very worried about security issues, slowly long very do not like to live in the high-rise, and finally can only put the house sold.

Do you live in a high-rise or a low-rise?

What are you doing here?

All the animals in the world, including people, the most afraid of the four paws off the ground hanging in the air. 50 layers of high on this feeling plus the balance of the building shaking, not afraid of the Lord has not wanted to live.

Those who live in the 50th floor can see the sea of clouds of the respondent is a fairy?

I personally live in the 53rd floor when I chose the high level is to stay away from all kinds of bugs, although the highest flight height of mosquitoes is only about 20 floors (60-70 meters), but there are still a small number of mosquitoes, reportedly with the elevator to come up and reproduce in addition to a number of flies, but than the bottom of the ground to be a lot better. 50-story high-rise visually there is absolutely nothing to say because of the ordinary commercial housing. Most of them are 33 floors (100 meters so) and live in the 53rd floor of this height (150 meters) a glance at a glance basically open to the absence of any shade, but also some office building scale building generally like this hundreds of meters of super-high-rise office building because it will block a large area of light so it is located is also very far away, although some of the line of sight blocking, but it also looks very atmospheric like standing in the city inside the big The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at the city and the people in it.

The advantages of living in a high-rise: absolutely good view (but 150 meters or so is not enough to see the city's sea of clouds), drying clothes is really cool even if there is no sunshine in the weather to open the window to ventilate the clothes will be blown dry, basically no insects, there may be occasional mosquitoes flies anyway, I live in the 53rd floor of the world, there are only the two kinds of bugs.

Live in high-rise disadvantages: windy, especially extreme weather you do not dare to open the window even open a small gap, and even worried about the glass was blown, noise, I do not know why the higher the floor to hear the noise, but the more pronounced, really want to give downstairs to the square dance for all the manure, the elevator will be waiting for a very long time, the elevator is often a person sitting in the highest of those floors a little sense of loneliness, the vision to see the distance super cool to see the downstairs near A little dizzy.

White clouds from the feet of the floating through the distant mountains like a mirage, climbed the platform邈河汉, lifting the wine invited group of people, by the railings looking at the moon, reach out and brush the rainbow. The benefits of living in a high-rise are great!

This can have, but stay on vacation to enjoy the mood of daily life of the residence also need to have a more grounded.

I feel like this 25-story residential building will have a lot of problems in the future, and the current property tax and maintenance fund won't cover the future operating costs of this kind of high rise.

I used to live on the 50th floor, and I enjoyed the sunshine in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows every day!

One day I was opening the window and I fell down.

Then, then ......

I never got the sun again!

I am a person who is not afraid of heights, standing on the glass stacks of even higher heights with only the excitement brought by the thrill, not a little sense of fear. However, the experience of staying in a hotel five years ago made me completely scared of living in a super high rise.

After graduating in 2010, my college classmates went their separate ways to fight for their careers. I live in the same dormitory with the A Yang relationship is very good, respectively, did not break contact, just each other is too far away, after graduation, have not seen each other.

Three years after graduation, I got married. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find the best way to get the most out of your life. The two of us have been in the same dormitory for the past four years, and we've been living with each other for a long time, and our personalities have gotten along quite well, so we've become very good friends. The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't want to be in the same place as you are.

A Yang's family condition is very good, his father is doing small commodity wholesale business, after years of entrepreneurship, now has a very large scale. Every time I was invited, I was very sincere, and also emphasized the "eat, live and play a dragon service! But my work is just starting out, I have not been able to find the time.

2015, in the second anniversary of the wedding, I proposed to my wife, in order to have a small child before the perfect commemorative meaning of the trip. Actually, she was very happy to hear my opinion. So we both planned the travel route in a hurry. My condition is that no matter what route is chosen, one of the stops must be Guangzhou, in order to get together with Ah Yang.

When I told Yang about this, he said, "Come on, I'll arrange everything!

After coming to Guangzhou, we stayed here for three days, and Ayang arranged it very well. We stayed in a hotel room on the 100th floor, which, according to Ayang, allowed us to have a different travel experience.

This hotel is quite famous in Guangzhou, the main reason is the high floor and wide view. The hotel is in a 103-floor building, and from the 70th floor to the 100th floor are all areas of this hotel, with the hotel lobby located on the 70th floor. We stayed on the highest floor, and we could tell that Ayang had put a lot of thought into our arrival.

It is reasonable to say that our home is on the 32nd floor (***33rd floor) of the high rise, and the view is already wide open when standing on the balcony. But standing on the balcony of the 100th floor, it is difficult to describe the visual impact in words. I felt that everything was very small, the cars running on the road were like ants, and pedestrians could not be seen at all if I did not distinguish them carefully. I feel like I'm floating in mid-air, and I feel like the blue sky is just out of my reach.

The most beautiful thing is the night view. At night, when you turn off the lights in your room, you can see the whole of Guangzhou at night, and the lights are dotted with stars, as if they were stars in the sky, and the feeling of impact is like floating in the sky.

During the day, A Yang took us to two attractions, almost non-stop, all day down has been exhausted. After returning to the hotel, very sleepy and fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up by the sound of the alarm. At first I didn't know what was going on, but only heard a lot of footsteps in the corridor, mixed with the sound of talking.

"What happened?" My wife asked me in surprise. I didn't know what was going on, but it was so noisy that I couldn't get back to sleep. So I got up to see what was going on.

The moment I opened the door to my room, the shrill alarm sounded louder, and I hurriedly asked one of the big brothers who had heard it what had happened, and the man ran and shouted: it's a fire alarm, get out of there, the elevator doesn't even work!

I was shocked by my big brother's answer, was there a fire? I was shocked by my big brother's answer, "Is there a fire?" I rushed back to my room to tell my wife, and we both rushed to organize our personal belongings, and then we grabbed the door and left. The first time I saw this was when I was in the middle of the night, when I was in the middle of the night, when I was in the middle of the night, when I was in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, in fact, as if not awake, just down the steps, not a few steps, a stagger, fortunately, I was around to help, almost fell. However, her foot was sprained. The first thing I did was to get the money to pay for the purchase, and then I was able to get the money to pay for the purchase.

If you usually walk down the stairs, you don't have to feel anything, but now you are carrying someone on your back, it's hard to walk, and you don't know when it's going to end! This is a layer by layer move down, really can not walk, grit your teeth and insist on the limit. In the end, you can only walk a few steps, rest a while.

When I was in despair, I vaguely heard someone shouting, "I'm a hotel staff, don't be alarmed, just now it was a fire alarm by mistake, we're looking for the cause, please don't be anxious!" The stairwell was filled with cursing and complaining ......

My wife and I trudged down from the 100th floor to the 72nd floor, and the sound was coming from the hotel lobby. The staff was very apologetic about it, and many guests continued to be unforgiving, for in front of the service desk in the lobby, and the staff to theorize and argue. In the end, the hotel staff in order to calm the matter, to report to the higher level, reduce the day of the accommodation fee.

Although the accommodation fee has been waived, I still have a feeling of guilt after this incident. If an accident really happened that day, how to come down from the 100th floor! Only by experiencing it do you know how torturous it is to escape.

The next day I told Ayang about the incident. His reaction was surprisingly to slap his thighs and couldn't stop laughing. He should be laughing at my wretched appearance. Alas, that feeling is known only to those who have experienced it!

This incident was a shock, but after that, I never dared to live on such a high floor again!

5 floors are too high for me, and I refuse to go up to 50 floors.
