1,7 km². 😳I watched the whole video and I still can't fathom the size of this thing. 7,9 km² is my whole city!!! So this means that it covers 1/4 of my community. WOW! Also the interior is amazingly pretty, shining marble and all... Thanks for sharing.

[@style4807]

成都有14335平方公里，2140万人口。

there is an Intercontinental hotel inside, live there for 2 days and you can enjoy all the facilities foods shopping and entertainment without going out, but there's no hospital inside. come and see it:)

[@PeterMorgan-r9i]

Yes It's so big. I hope to visit soon.

[@aougdteq]

Yes, it's super big here, and I was shocked when I visited it.

Waited for long since your last one driving. Glad to see your family again. Have fun!

[@donacatanguma]

Incredible mall. The first thing I noticed is how beautiful all the flooring is. I liked the track floor in front of the sports stores. Here in the hood in Manhattan everyone gets followed around in stores, but because they assume you’re going to steal, not because they want to help you 😂 And there’s music blasting in front of all the stores too 😂😂 Definitely agree with you about the water park. You’d think they’d have some way of controlling the number of people in the water at any one time. Can’t wait for the next video Lee. Much Love to all of you❤️❤️❤️

[@jaylewis5035]

Manhattan is truly a horrible place.

[@antonylee9149]

I am chinese, who have worked there for two weeks. it's huge!!! there are thousands office from diffrent companys. you know what, i lived next to this building but it still takes me ten minutes to gate of this building and i go to work by bike.

[@craigmartinj]

As foreigner working in China I was absolutely blown away by the scale and size of the place! Magnificent architecture and well thought out design. Awesome full sized hotel, HUGE water park, AND a shopping mall all in one. Not one but 2 Starbucks as the cherry on top. You all should be proud. This place is GREAT!!!

[@jianyunlu9893]

I enjoy watching you eating ice cream🐶

[@badequation0310]

I’m a chengduer, I wanna tell all that you really cannot realize how enormous this building is unless you visit it in person. It actually look much more bigger in reality than in videos or your imagination. I was shocked at the first sight when getting out of the metro station.

[@geert574]

I spotted my favourite flavour at that gelato ice cream stall - Rum n Raisin👍🏼👍🏼😋😄

[@ZeroFate643]

That mini racetrack is incredible. Wish I'd had it as a kid, I would of been spending all my time at the mall playing it.

[@DORSEYLANDRIA]

Ok you took me back to my childhood with the racing car tracks.

[@m.0829]

You're right. If a shop plays loud music or loud noise to try to attract me in, I'd run a mile from it. The water park is way over crowded & they ought to have limit the amount of people for health & safety reason; not until after a bad accident. I'd contact the mall's management to voice my concern.

[@SPECIALTRADER1]

Are you jealous of China????😮

[@bryanlee901]

[@edgardootara9190]

Wish to be there for sometime!

[@RattledPan]

I grew up near what became one of those "premier"-type malls in southern California--South Coast Plaza. It opened in the 1960s and was, as you can image, a novel idea, shopping and dining in a well lit, controlled temperatured area, safe for anyone. This near enough to the Pacific Ocean to enjoy mid-70s temperature daily, but c'mon--this was new. I mention this because the last time I was down there and checked on the mall, this was the same basic look of our upscale mall. I just asked Google and he says the mall is about 6500 miles from where I am in Portland, Oregon on the northwest coast of the Pacific. This is a vid of the mall, if you would like to compare and contrast😉. My girlfriends and I are convinced that we paid for most of the marble you would see at then end of the swankier side of the mall on our little "we'll just look" four hour extravaganzas that would take a couple weeks of work pay to make those bouts disappear financially. There would be so much that I would want to see and do if I ever get to China, but it would be fun to spend a day shopping and dining with the locals. It's funny, but if everyone likes the same things, language is no longer nessisary.😀

[@desmondgorosi4007]

Massive indeed, China way ahead😉

[@dartanianrubanne3394]

Watching videos about Asia's infrastructure, technology, healthcare, investments, and construction projects makes one realise just how dumb and backward the United Kingdom is. Whatever makes people form the impression the UK is a first world country!?

[@nuo.not1033]

The world's number one maritime nation, the first colonial nation, the country that robbed the most land, a military power, an empire on which the sun never sets, a bunch of pirates.

Through brainwashing lol😂 that's why the western government is not encouraging their own citizens to travel to China lol😂

[@duinay3]

same here in the US - our cities look worse than a 3rd world city

[@simonbrown7455]

Well, lets see what happens in Asian countries after they finish developing right ? Weird to compare a country of 64 million with a country thats 1.5 billion... If anything its remarkable the UK did or has what it has considering it being such a small country,

There is a huge disclaimer/warning frame over your video here. When I log in to my VPN provider in another U.S. location (tried Atlanta, San Fransico, Girard, Memphis, etc.) it doesn't show this warning. I guess KZbin has figured out all the standard U.S. IP addresses and differentiates all the other U.S. VPN IP addresses that may have users logging in outside of the U.S.
