World's largest standalone structure opens in China

How big can a stand alone structure be - any guess?

Well think of Sydney Opera which we usually see on new year night under fireworks - if you think anything twice as big as Sydney Opera is big - you are mistaken.


China has opened its New Century Global Center to the public in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan province, June 28, 2013. And this world's largest standalone structure is 'big enough' to house TWENTY Sydney Opera Houses under its roof - that is really big and world's biggest.



This huge structure has 1.7 million square meters of floor space to house business offices, hotels, theaters, shopping malls, a faux Mediterranean village, and attractions including a water park called "Paradise Island."


Beside, it will feature a mix of retail outlets, a 14-screen movie theater, a university complex, offices, hotels, a water park called Paradise Island, a skating rink that's big enough to host international competitions, a pirate ship, 15,000 parking spots, and even a fake Mediterranean village.


The  New Century Global Center is 328 feet high, 1,640 feet long, and 1,312 feet wide.

So the New Century Global Center to the public in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan province, should be on the list of your next travel destination if you are planning a visit to China. Shouldn't it be?
