If you say it's Dubai's International airport terminal 3...you are wrong. As of July 1, 2013 a building in China - Century Global Center located in the growing city of Chengdu has now been crowned with the title. Under the clouds in this Chinese city it's a building which is having state of the art design and being more than 600 miles away from coast but still having it's own seaside. You can do ice skating, take a nap in five star hotel and can have a sun bath on a beach and that too without ever stepping outside.

According to the reports on - thesun.co.uk : the newly built building is a glass dome 3 times the size of the pentagon building in Washington, D.C. It is 500 meters long, 400 meters wide and 100 meters high and is compared as equivalent to the size of Monaco. This building is located just opposite to the Chengdu Contemporary Art Center which is designed by the world famous architect Zaha Hadid.
It is really amazing to know that this building covers 19 million sq.ft and is having office spaces, shopping centers, IMAX cinema with 14 screens plus the most rejuvenating and thrilling spot a water park- 'PARADISE ISLAND'. The in built beach can hold 6000 persons at a given time. If you worry about how to have a sun bath in the closed enclosure...the building has it's own 24x7 sun. The giant structure is having it's own fake sun to shine 24 hours.It is believed that this sun is a borrowed Japanese technique.
Don't get surprised if we tell you that this master piece was built in just a year!! Yes it's true the entire structure was constructed in a year and Chinese have yet again proved their ability and will.
