Chengdu - Two shopping malls, an amusement park, a hotel, a university, an ice skating rink ... all this fits in Global Center, the world's largest building, located near the geographical center of China and it shows the passion of the oriental country the construction in style.
With 1.7 million square meters (adding the all floors), the building is a building with more surface used in the world, surpassing even the airports of Dubai and Beijing, which are also on the list of large buildings on the planet.
His project, 200 thousand square meters, the seventh largest in the world, has the size of 25 football fields, and its cube shape crowned by a wavy can be seen from several kilometers away.
The building was opened in 2013, but without the big party that the country in love with records usually devote to inaugurations of major infrastructure.
This is explained because the tycoon who had the idea to build the Global Center and the funded, the local businessman Deng Hong, was arrested on charges of alleged corruption.
500 meters wide and 400 long, the building appears to be low despite its 100 meters high, which would amount to a more than 30-story building.
The Global Center is the modern southern skyscraper district of Chengdu, capital of China's inland province of Sichuan, known to be the habitat of panda bears and the severe earthquakes that periodically suffers.
The seismological risks of the region do not seem to cause fear among urban developers of the provincial capital, which in just a decade made the southern part of the city in a skyscraper district and neon lights that leave nothing to be desired with respect to nearby cities as Shanghai and Hong Kong.
The world's largest building by floor to 518,000 square meters is the market Alsmeer flowers in the Netherlands, and volume (13.3 million cubic meters) is the record of the Boeing assembly plant in Everett (in Washington state, US northwest).
