Isn't that funny this is a railway station? And it is more fun and ironically called 21st centry railway station. It could be considered as a new sample of "white-house-like" buildings in China. It is obvious that this kind of "architectural revolution" has spread into almost all kinds of urban facilities not only the governmental offices. [via abbs]

Another "whitehouse-like" governmental building in Anhui Province

Image
This governmental building is in Yingquan District of Fuyang, Anhui Province安徽阜阳颍泉区, which costs tens of million Chinese Yuan. It is "Western-style". The average annual income of local people is 2000 Yuan. A very interesting thing is that the Chinese always misunderstands that Capitol as White House . If you check it around, you will never find such description that "Capitol-like" buildings, but always "Whitehouse-like", which are very different basically. However, few Chinese notices it at all.
