An unique landmark

For those who have been to Chinatown, this unique landmark, which shaped like a fan, will not be a stranger to you.

So is there any reason for the building to be shaped in this manner? Or the Architect designed the building in such a unique way to catch attention?

Whatever it is, I still like the unique shape of this building, it really stand out from the crowd!

P/S : I may not be able to update my blog for at least a week or so, as I have overseas visitor to attend. Nevertheless, if I can find the time to update, I will do so. If not, I will be back again on 18 Jan 2009, do stay tuned. Wish you have a great weekend ahead! Cheers !
