The design of a proposed train station in China is supposed to take inspiration from a flower but people on social media can’t see anything but a sanitary pad.
And for that reason, a rendered image of the proposed North Nanjing station has gone global.
Authorities have reportedly claimed the inspiration for the design was the plum blossom, which is a beloved flower.
On Chinese social media platforms, the topic has generated millions of views.
“This is a giant sanitary pad. It’s embarrassing to say it looks like a plum blossom,” one person was quoted to say on Weibo.
“Why can we all tell it is a sanitary pad immediately, but the architects can’t?” another user wrote.
