Chinese architecture is always available to provide entertainment, from the “Phone Building” in Kunming, to the array of kitchen utensils in Shanghai. The opportunity for online ridicule is dime a dozen nowadays, and the newest building to entertain Netizens is the “Fried dough twist” building in Xiamen.
Sadly for this shell of a building it is unlikely to see people walk among its confusing corridors. In fact it is unlikely to ever have corridors. The building was started in 2008 but guess what, they ran out of money. And so here sits the “Fried dough twist,” an entertaining idea but with no one to care for it and build it up, there it will sit sad, alone and sparse, or until someone knocks it down to build something else, perhaps a “jianbing”?

I actually think its great that there is an increasing experimentation with architecture in contemporary China, better than a 1970s era tenement building!
