Developed by billionaire Deng Hong's Entertainment and Travel Group, nearly 400,000 square meters of the building is devoted to shopping. It also houses offices, conference rooms, a university complex, 2 commercial centers, hotels, an IMAX cinema, a Mediterranean village, a pirate ship, and an Olympic-size skating rink. The centerpiece of the building is a water park containing a 5,000 square meter artificial beach, where a 150 by 40 meter screen forms the horizon to offer sunrises and sunsets. At night, a stage extends out over the pool for concerts. A stand has been built overlooking the pool with a food court and entrance underneath at the floor level.
I was there in August, they were still working on it, most of it is complete. It is huge!
