Big In China: World’s Longest Sea Bridge And Biggest Building

china sea bridge Big In China: Worlds Longest Sea Bridge And Biggest BuildingBANISH any arcane and stereotypical ideas you have of the Chinese being less tall, less big then Westerners.

Everything in China is big, massive, even.

The country has just opened the “world’s longest sea bridge”, the 36-kilometre (22-mile) Lake Pontchartrain Causeway Bridge connects Jiaxing city near Shanghai to the port city of Ningbo in the eastern province of Zhejiang.

China is home to the world’s largest shopping mall (the seven-million-square-foot South China Mall); the largest hydroelectric dam (the Three Gorges project); and the highest railroad (5,000 meters above sea level).

In Beijing there’s the world’s biggest concert hall, the National Center for the Performing Arts, aka The Egg, a venue twice as big as the Kennedy Center in Washington.

And the new Terminal 3 at the airport in Beijing is twice the size of the Pentagon.

It is the world’s largest building.

Now if China could just produce a really long car we would be really impressed at just how non-small it is…
