I was extremely impressed and amazed at the speed of China's development everywhere at their modern airports, high speed trains, tallest buildings and now, the "Biggest Building In The World". They had a void period of "Cultural Revolution" yet they have overtaken so many countries today.
1. Most of the buildings in Chengdu are lighted up at night with full scaled LED technology screens where they will have colourful patterns dancing its way on the whole building. Suddenly they could flash out live advertisements or even brief TV news on the whole building. My jaws just dropped in disbelief. I have not seen such buildings in Shanghai at all.
2. On our first night in Chengdu, we took their subway train to look for the World's Biggest Building which was opened very recently. It was drizzling lightly and we walked like crazy due to the GPS inaccuracy.
3. There are several entrances but we entered through the Global Mall.
4. This is the artist's impression showing how this giant building looked like from above. It has all the convenience to pamper all the families, business associates and tourists. They have hotel, shopping mall, Water Theme Park, Private Beach, Convention Centres and blah blah blah.
You can google HERE
5. The entrance is so high class and nice with all the shiny walls and polished marble flooring!
6. The ceiling is so high and brightly lit with impressive decors to welcome shoppers.
7. It was slightly warmer inside, so I flashed my jacket open to show that I wore 3 layers!
8. All the big brands are there!
9. Every country I visited, I must try their McD and visit their 7-Elevens as a ritual habit. The mall looked empty because I waited for everyone to get out of my camera's range.
10. I behaved like kids again and posed SK's signature "Running Away"
from loan sharks style.
11. I know I am naughty. You are just the same!
12. They used London as their Christmas promotions. Well, I plan to visit London in 2014 and need to pass the hat around to you all. Thanks!
13. My darling got herself happily lost in the maze.
14. The patterns of their marble flooring everywhere made my eyes dizzy.
15. We were hungry after playing & fooling around so much. We tried our first spicy meal at their Sichuan's Steamboat restaurant which was crowded. The misty air inside was spicy and stung my eyes to cry.
16. Oh My Goodness! My soup was red and spicy hot with their killer peppers!!! My mouth was spitting out flames of FIRE!!!! Arghh!!!
17. My smarter honey chose their herbal soup. Look at their huge vegies and the leaves that looked like IKEA's potted plant.
Love all Abay's pose! LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you Mak Glam! I made sure that trip had funny photos to spice up my boring blog posts. I told you guys that, remember??
DeleteThis post very good la...a lot of funny pose. Must make more next time
DeleteThe lights are all beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteTheir LED lights amazed me. The whole escalator had many ocean fishes and squids swimming up & down beautifully along the sides. So creative ideas!
DeleteNot only amazed u, but also amazed me, hehe...
DeleteIt should be called Amazing China.
DeleteGood evening TM, raining day in SG...
ReplyDeleteWe also rained here. Did Singapore govt rent our rain clouds?
DeleteMaybe Malaysia and Singapore are neighbour, the rain clouds will do visitations, kaka....
DeleteYes we share clouds and water too!
Delete12. Cute TM, hehe...
ReplyDeleteI thought 12 is cute and 11 is Hamsap. No?
DeleteMaybe the next round when SK and you meetup, both of you can pose some cute pose and take photos and show us, hehe...
DeleteWe are too old to pose and entertain you la. Better watch the clowns in the circus! LOL
DeleteBeautiful!!! Inside, it sure does not seem like you're in China.
ReplyDeleteAgree! They gave me culture shocks.
Deletewow..I am also very Impressed with their decoration too... really an eye opener for me again.. hahaha.... Both of you really enjoyed yourself there... very nice honeymoon indeed!! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you will make a visit there someday.
DeleteWow! World's biggest building? Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteYes it was too big and I only covered 1/8 of the place!!!
DeleteYes, China very advanced now. Unfortunately, the Chinese people still rude and loud. No class.
ReplyDeleteI must say that the folks in Chengdu are most polite so far. I was very surprised to see them line up at bus stops and subway stations. They don't push like in Shanghai or Xian.
DeleteReally? That's an eye opener! I must visit Chengdu then! But can only visit with someone who can read and speak Mandarin! LOL!
DeleteOops! That's me! Forgot to log in! LOL!
DeleteBtw, no need sad that I seldom spam comments la hahaha! I will still try to spam here but you know, I have been there, done that. Time to move on! :D
DeleteLOL at all your funny poses!! :D
ReplyDeleteWas I funny?? That's me in reality.
DeleteOh I can't eat that Sichuan steamboat! The amount of oil scares me!!
ReplyDeleteTheir peppers numbed my tongue for hours. Crazy food.
DeleteGood evening TM!
ReplyDeleteI agree that people in China is very creative, their mind and works always amaze the world! Just look at how they host the Olympic few years ago, simply stunning! Those LED lights are so cool!
You are indeed naughty in picture 11! xD But I think all guys will do the same too, wakaka :p
DeleteAnd those food looks yummy! Look at the color of the soup!
DeleteYes the world applauded their Olympics opening as the best!
DeleteTheir food is not yummy to me at all. I had to eat something else milder.
I have visited over 10 cities in China and all gave shocks & disbeliefs! Their folks speak different slangs and behaved differently. Only the open toilets are the same!
interesting trip! I would love to visit that huge place. I might go crazy shopping non-stopped. Anyway, you had a great adventure there too. :)
ReplyDeleteThat place is beautiful but not for shopping by my standard. It is too high end overall.
Deletewah, really nice, can't wait to go China~
ReplyDeleteOkay quickly go!!!
DeleteNow Everyone can Fly With Air Asia.
get a job 1st loH~
DeleteWow the building very impressive you are so creative and naughty in all your poses can't help but laugh at your poses
ReplyDeleteI am creative? I was just naughty!
DeleteAhhh, another interesting post.. The title itself already attracted me "The Largest Building...."
ReplyDeleteYes, buildings with LED is everywhere in China.. When I went to Foshan, Guangzhou I could see this everywhere too, especially at night. Most buildings (tall or short, big or small) will have LED flashing everywhere.
Aahh, that "blue ray" in your 2nd picture looks very interesting..
Wah, the entrance of the building is really, really (I really mean really) high class! Like a 10star hotel entrance (wait, is there such thing as 10star)?
DeleteYou felt grand mou when you walked in?
Oh, I'm the same too. Everywhere I visit, I will lookout for their McD, KFC and Watsons (or Guardian). I could get so much "koo ling jing kuai" and cute stuffs from Watsons, Foshan previously.. With all the Hello Kitty merchandise and all.. I didn't lookout for their 7-11 so much tho', except in Tokyo..
DeleteAahh, when I see your "running away" pose, I immediately think of SK too, hehe.. You really like this pose-see hor?
Oohh, you are not naughty by touching the boobs la, I think if I were you, I would do the same too.. "Fong poon lap" wor, who don't want touch wor, kan?
When you mentioned Sichuan steamboat, I immediately think of "malat" soup which is red in colour and spicy to death... But it's good to try their signature "malat" soup when you are there, tho I know they put flames in your mouth, haha. So you left the whole pot of "malat" soup untouched?
DeleteWhen I go for steamboat, I don't like tomyam also. I prefer their ching-tong, but I will still order ying-yong coz kiasu ma.. 1 type soup or 2 types soup, also the price is the same, so I kiasu order ying-yong lor, coz can drink 2 types of soups ma, hehe..
I heard that Guangzhou has the most LED screens everywhere because the LEDs are mostly produced there!
DeleteWhere got 10 Star Hotel? Wait till you build one lah. Even 6 star also hard to maintain.
I will never eat that Malat steamboat again. Surrender with white flags! I could not understand how all their folks could enjoy them like eating chocolates!
yeah you are very true, China is very fast developing economy, even though they had a void period of "Cultural Revolution" yet they have overtaken so many countries today - and one very good example is our Bolehland, i really don't see any progress but seems to be just stepping foot on the same spot!!
ReplyDelete#1: wow, those LED on the building sounds interesting.. so everywhere in Chengdu is like our UMNO building which is throwing a humungous amount of money to build and maintain the LED??
Delete#2: so this is rather a shopping and makan trip for Anay and Letchumi in the world's biggest building?? errr, of course also posing for silly photos dei~~
#3: so this is the world's largest building?? hmmm, includes the area surrounding the main building also?? hmmm, i wonder why the Arab's have not built another to overtake this?? :p
I got break your streak mou?
DeleteOr you belum habis komen lagi?
DeleteOr I think you tengah bz writing the komens kot..
DeleteCoz you baru komen until # 3.. Got until # 17 wor..
Deletecheh, i comment in individual comments instead of in thread, then you will never be able to break my streak lor~~ :D
DeleteWoiii this Ribbon Princess like to disturb SK one! Kekekeke like small girls and boys playing.
DeleteThere was nothing that I could afford inside except UNIQLO's. It was just an eye opener as I was damn curious to step inside the world's largest building.
no la...Princess Ribbon likes to disturb you more :p
Delete#5 & #6: so grand and majestic inside!! but this is always not my style lah, hahahaha.. Thambee always prefer contemporary and minimalist designs, not these classical ones~~ :p
ReplyDelete#7 & #8: somehow those palm trees with lights on the trunks remind me of a shopping mall in Dubai that i have went.. exactly the same decoration.. maybe the Arab's actually invested in this mall??
#9: fuyoh, after the McD signboard (cos we will never see chinese McD signboard here), the next thing that caught my attention is the marble floor.. so new and clean that it reflected the two McD logos, but the pattern is too messy to me..
I am not sure if that place belonged to foreign investors. These days China is getting rich and investing overseas. They even pumped in so much to our Iskandar's Development, you heard that news?? Yeah also that Xiamen University too.
DeleteI agree that the lighted palms looked like the ones in Dubai. I saw that on TV. Everyone copies everyone these days. Even pizza was probably copied from the Muslims in Middle East and Xian.
#10: fuyoh, my Anay looked so cute and young with this pose!! Thambee likes!!! this time Anay got it right already, that IS the pose!! muahahahaha..
ReplyDelete#11 & #12: so young at heart lah my Anay.. you did so many nice and funny and young pose in the public, even Thambee has already lessen that!! cool.. that makes your photos look a lot more cheery and happy!!! :)
#13: see?? even Letchumi also got affected and she also posed like a crazy woman lost in the maze~~ :D
Eh, if got lenglui "fong poon lap" I think you will also touch lor..
DeleteI had to do the #10 pose so many times to get it right. It was not easy to balance on one leg like SK lah!!
DeleteI realised that most photos looked boring when I stood like a mannequin pose. Before I reach old age, i better be funny!!! I hope other bloggers will pose funny too.
#13 photo was crazy as she was really lost inside!!!
#14: exactly!! that's exactly what i think about the marbles on the floor.. wise people think alike huh?? i think probably this was the boss's idea, strong idea that even the designer could not be able to convince him not to use this marbles~~ Cinapek!! :D
ReplyDelete#15 - #17: fuyoh, pat on the shoulder Anay!! you dare to try the notorious Sichuan spicy soup!! OMG, i won't even want to go near, sure i will have to go to the toilet for one whole day besides my lips turned into two pieces of thick sausages!! smart Letchumi, she opted for the herbal soup~~
My head was really giddy with my eyes roving like vertigo by the marble floors! That was the first time I saw such patterns. I wonder what was in the designer's mind.
DeleteNo more Sichuan steamboat. The folks there feast on the spicy food so often, that's why they are so slim!!!
Must die die try the authentic Si Chuan food there mah..hehe :P
ReplyDeleteI loved Sichuan Food served at hotels in Malaysia but the original ones in China set my mouth on FIRE!!! Don't play play!!!
DeleteWow! Impressive. Can cover every floor in one day? Sure die!
ReplyDeleteWow---what an incredible group of photos... China truly is ahead of most of us in the world. As far as the good ole USA is concerned, we just keep on borrowing money from China and getting farther and farther in debt... Truly, our country (as great as it is --and I LOVE it) is in big trouble.... Nuff said....
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a great time. Love all of the fun you obviously have... Sounds like George and me!!!!! ha
Hugs,
Betsy
In China, everything is big
ReplyDeleteNowadays China is so developed that there are lesser Chinese coming to Singapore to work. And, instead they are visiting us as tourists.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you there. China have "blackout" for a period and yet they progress so fast in this decade
ReplyDelete1. like laser show then ...but what about inside the building. i wonder does the lights will bother the occupants inside
Deletepengsan...world biggest building but gps cannot find accurately...too big kot

ReplyDeletePizx12. Attention! Very creative with that umbrella but why legs kangkang one? haha. Always have this thought of visualizing that phone booth in the house. They say what the mind can conceive it will achieve...am right here waiting..
ReplyDeleteFor that kind of enormous size how many days to cover all the building?
ReplyDeleteOk...this is certainly a hilarious post ever in your blog with lots of funny poses.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know Chengdu is way so advanced, probably the canggih buildings there are more canggih than our homeland ones.
Btw, yet to see any Panda?
Know this building, but always get to see the outsider, this's the first time I saw the interior!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Chendu is sooo advanced! I've only been to Guilin and it's a small town compared to this.
ReplyDeleteI know China is expanding fast to be a cosmopolitan country, I just didn't know it'll be that fast!
Good to see your China posts mate!
Hi! Nice captures. I have neven been in 成都。I only went to 上海 and 広州交易会 both 3times by business. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've been to many parts of China but not Chengdu. It looks impressive! I love lights!
ReplyDeleteChina wants to be the biggest in every profile yet the quality of their people needs a lot of improvement.
