In recent years China has shown a penchant for unusual, and what many may call daring, architecture in the shape of everything from "Giant Trousers" to a bird's nest to a piano and their very own replica Eiffel Tower.

Though it's unclear if the directive applies to both public and private buildings, it looks like we will be seeing less of these eye-catching structures.
Here's a look at the some of the "weird" fun architecture.
