An office building in Beijing has become a hit on the Internet because of its distinctive outline, which resembles part of a large intestine.

A man using the Net name "yjxgsz" on Tuesday posted several pictures of the building, which is up to 80 meters high, drawing widespread attention on the Internet.

Netizens described the structure, which features twisting floors, as the "Building of Large Intestine".

The Xingchuang Building is in the Daxing district of Beijing, Modern Express Daily reported on Thursday.

In recent years, many buildings in China have attracted attention due to their shape.

They include CCTV's headquarters in Beijing, nicknamed "The Trousers", and two buildings in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, which will soar to 500 meters and connect at the top, earning the nickname of "The Building of Jeans".
