Very interesting type of building. Looks like a donut. So it is the largest trading centre for raw plastic materials located in Guangdong, China. But the architect is Joseph di Pasquale, an Italian architect. China never stop amazing me.

Dawn Barela, it IS the tallest circular building in the world though! THAT is the TRUE answer!

Guangzhou is certainly not in Japan, so that eliminates that option. Then, the picture isn't that clear, but it did look like it could be an somewhat unusual building.

Three cities and one description of the building as choices. Not very imaginative...

I don't think of circles of being 3 dimensional.

Obviously a Chinese name. Poor alternatives.

Albeck1994, I used the same logic you did. Even though I had no idea about this round building I knew Guangzhou was in China eliminating three of the choices.
