Have you ever heard of the top 10 list of China’s ugliest buildings?
Every year, netizens vote to choose the ugliest buildings seen around the country, and 2018 marks the ninth year of this nationwide vote.
Can you imagine what these ugly buildings look like? Here’s a hint: you’d better let your imagination run wild.
The “giant crab” was originally located in a cafe that had been vacant for many years due to poor management. In March 2017, the cafe underwent facade maintenance to make the shape of the crab.
In the future, it is expected to be a small “crab”-themed complex that integrates leisure, entertainment, and crab cultural experience, staff said.
Ummm, why do I want to eat crab after seeing these pictures all of a sudden?? I’m either really hungry, or this design looks very real… Or both?
ULO PARK
“Big octopus” is located in the Wangjing Subdistrict of Beijing, on Guangshun south street. Just like the above-mentioned crab, this one shows a very “surrealist” architectural style.
Yunnan Kaleidoscope Art Estate
云南万花筒艺术庄园

The Shanghai LV Tower, also known as Shanghai Hongqiao Shangjia Center, was designed by famous Japanese architect Aoki Chun. The facade is designed to give the building a streamlined shape from top to bottom to look, like an elegant lady in a white dress.
Guangdong Nanhai No. 1 museum
广东南海一号博物馆
The building facade of the No. 1 museum in Nanhai, also known as the Guangdong maritime silk road museum, consists of five interlocking ellipsoids of different sizes.

Harbour City 1
三亚大东海1号港湾城
Hebei Tianzi Hotel
河北天子大酒店

Shuangyuhui，Liuzhou，Guangxi
柳州双渔汇
According to the designer, the project was positioned as an international boutique mall, and the building was designed to be a landmark with two giant carps leaping up.
I guess people may think of the Chinese new year when they look at it? Maybe?
It is undeniable that in some specific environments and cultural backgrounds, the pictographic approach of architecture is a good way of expression, which in turn can bring a lot of emotions. But too much might just make it worse.
What do you think of these buildings? If you had to pick one to visit, where would you go?
