COOL: A CHINESE DREAM CAR - THE GOLDEN FLYING DRAGON CAR

This car, spotted at the Canton Fair, is titled the 'Chinese Dream - Flying Dragon,' and must be what Xi Jinping and friends meant when they started that China Dream rhetoric earlier this year. The car is the loving result of 19 sculptors' work over more than three years, every second of which was well spent.

LOL: IF YOU GOT IT, FLAUNT IT.

That's one place to park your Maserati!!

Well, actually, a beautiful chinese girl thought she was just following the crowd when she decided to park her Maserati in the middle of the street.




This is is a double-lane two-way, about 500 meter long no outlet street, with empty spaces on the white parking lanes on both sides, but a white Maserati two-seater sports car doesn’t park in the parking spots and instead directly placed itself across the center double-yellow lanes in the middle of the street. This white Maserati’s license plate begins with 渝A, is a Granturismo model. Checking prices online, this model costs over 2 million RMB or above for the cheapest version.

STRUCTURES: THE WORLD'S LARGEST BULDING IS 4X SIZE OF VATICAN CITY

Can they get any bigger?  Yes they can!

China has done it again.  If we didn't know any better, we would say they were in competition with Dubai who themselves have erected many a record-breaking structures such as the world's tallest building in Burj Khalifa and now this year already the world's largest natural flower garden and the world's tallest hotel.


Welcome to The New Century Global Center, which recently opened in Chendgu, China. It is 328 feet high, (100 metres high), 1,640 feet long, (500 metres long) and 1,312 feet wide, (400 metres wide). That’s roughly 20 times the size of Sydney’s legendary Opera House, four times the size of Vatican City, and three times the size of the Pentagon. And its 420 acres in floor space is nearly the size of the entire country of Monaco (499 acres).

It’s an absolutely mammoth structure.

But what good would the world’s largest building be without a mind-boggling array of businesses, range of activities, and mix of amenities. Here are some of them. (Click on photos to enlarge)
