China puffer fish tower prompts a huff about state spending

 

BEIJING, Oct 1:  A Chinese viewing tower in the shape  of a giant, copper puffer fish has raised an online huff about the latest in a series of bizarre and extravagant targets of state investment. Encased in 8,920 copper plates and built at a cost of around 11.4 million dollar, the tower on an island in Yangzhong county, eastern Jiangsu province, hovers 15 storeys above ground. (agencies)
