The "poker building" in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
A "poker building" in Dongguan, Guangdong Province.
Recently, two pictures reflecting a kind of strange building have been spreading on China's Internet.
A netizen from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region posted a picture of a strange building in Nanning City and called on the public to surround and watch the "ultra-thin" building.
In the picture, there is 2-meter-wide building that makes people wonder whether it is going to collapse when the wind is a little bit of stronger. And netizens call it a "poker building."
Coincidentally, another picture of such a "poker building" in Dongguan City of Guangdong Province was also posted on the Internet. The building is like a ladder and just looks like a board from a distance.
As to reasons why those buildings were built like that, no one knows except the designers. Some netizens suggested that such a building is not for living but for honor and saving face for local governments.
