WUXI | Longxi International Hotel | 328m | 1076ft | 72 fl | Com - Page 19

The story behind Wuxi and their economic model of collective coop and a rare rural success at industrialization are far more interesting then the tower's design.

I like the tower mostly because of the very unique story behind it.

another village in this city,every village family gets 1KG gold and 1KG silver. there is a common factor of these kind of villages, they own a large factory.as a sharehold(naturally),villager gets bonus every year.

1斤(which is 500g), not 1KG. Unlike Huaxi village, that village has been keeping a low profile very hard for a long time. Now they blew the cover by distributing gold and silver. Jiangyin really is an incredible city.

I wonder how many units have been sold.

jhalsey · February 2nd, 2011, 05:56 PM

Is this the twin of the Farmer's Residences Building in Wuxi?

It's the same thread, it was renamed.

Those pagoda houses are incredibly funny. im guessing they house like 2000 people in each one?

***Ni3lS*** · March 20th, 2011, 01:28 AM

2000? Impossible. Like the architecture of those buildings though. Traditional Chinese with a modern/21st century swing

Pansori · March 20th, 2011, 04:17 AM

I thought Chinese cities stopped building this sort of stuff like 15 years ago?

Anyway, I think we can nominate this for the ugliest supertall in China award. This building is freakin ugly. And that 24th floor interior picture... I think even McDonald's has more tasteful interiors these days.

I think it looks better than the randor at least
