Basically a big shopping mall with a bug tower on top. A vertical city they call it.
Everything is tall here but this thing is twice as big. The observation deck is on the 124th floor - there are over 160 floors, with a total height over 200 - so just over half way up.
Very Vegas feel to the place. Without the cheesy feel. Ate in the cheesecake factory and pretended I was in Caesars.
Up and down the tower for sunset. There was a bit of a haze restricting the view. Then walked round shops for three hours.
Ticked some boxes.
- Tallest building in the world
- Tallest freestanding structure
- Longest lift
- Biggest dancing fountain
- Worlds biggest single piece of plexiglas (in the aquarium)
- And highest public toilet I assume.(not in the guff that one)
