A local government office in southern China has been mocked online after it put a suggestion box so high on a building wall that only a giant could reach it.

The box was installed over two metres above the ground by a government bureau in Yiliang county in Yunnan province, the China News Service reported.

A social media user posted a picture of the box on Thursday, joking that it seemed to be designed for Yao Ming, the former basketball star who is 2.29 metres tall.

The government bureau said the suggestion box was originally closer to the ground, but they shifted it higher because people kept bumping into it.

The bureau did not have time to move it again before pictures began to circulate on the internet.
