The world's largest building has opened in China capable of fitting 20 Sydney Opera Houses - or
three Pentagons - inside.
The New Century Global Center in
Chengdu, Sichuan province, is a staggering 19million sq.ft. and contains
shopping centers, a Mediterranean village, a water park, an ice-skating rink,
and multiple hotels.
However, visitors to the
glass panelled building need not worry about the weather as the giant complex
will have its own artificial sun. According to Chinese officials, the New Century Global
Center is the largest freestanding building in the world, and took three years
to complete.
‘This is an ocean city
built by man,’ Chinese guide Liu Xun told AFP.
He added that the
artificial sun built inside the building will provide light and heat 24 hours a
day.
