  • WUHAN, CHINA - NOVEMBER 08: An unfinished replica of Washington DC's Capitol Building stands on November 8, 2015 in Wuhan, China. An impressive replica of the US Capitol Building has stood dormant in the city of Wuhan for several years now. Originally intended to be used as a luxury hotel in 2007, construction halted after financing for the building dried up. The building is smaller than the original with only five floors, and the 535 members of the US Congress would probably not be able to stand under its cupola. Yet it showcases the same dome and Corinthian columns as the US version. The abandoned project has not gone to waste for everybody however. Its courtyard has been used by a driving school to drive and park, and local residents use its grounds to grow vegetables.  (Photo by Lucas Schifres/Getty Images)

  • Fire rages through the under-construction Mandarin Oriental hotel, which is part of China Central Television's new headquarters complex in downtown Beijing, China, on February 9, 2009. Part of the iconic CCTV (China Central Television) complex, the building housing the Mandarin Oriental Hotel exploded after it caught on fire Monday, the last day of celebrations for the lunar new year when the city was alight with fireworks. The building was designed by the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and is part of CCTV's new headquarters, an angular wonder of modernist architecture that was built to coincide with the Beijing Olympics last year. The fire was burning from the ground floor to the top floor, the flames reflecting in the glass facade of the main CCTV tower next to the hotel and cultural center. The 241-room Mandarin Oriental hotel in the building was due to open this year. Photo by Stringer/Pictobank
