New Century Global Center (world's largest building by floor area)
Chengdu, China (CN)
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.
