A controversial upright circular building designed to resemble an ancient Chinese jade disc but popularly known as the “flashy rich people’s circle” was recently completed in China’s southern, Guangdong province. The 33-stories-tall Guangzhou Circle Building, which features a 47-metre-wide hole in the middle, is becoming a landmark of Guangzhou city, despite its location in the middle of a developing suburb some 40 minutes away from the city’s central business district.
