China
A shopping center will look crowded even though visitor just passing by it, especially if it be the biggest mall in the world. Anyone would be curious to go. Unfortunately, it did not happen at the biggest mall in the world are deliberately built in China.
In 2005, a Chinese billionaire, Alex Hu Guirong, began to realize his dream to build the biggest mall in the world. He also chose Dongguan as the establishment of the mall, which later was named New South China Mall.
The mall has an area of up to more than 2,100 square meters. That way, as many as 2,350 stores to fit in it. An indoor roller coaster was built around the mall, there is also a 1.3 mile long canal in the mall complete with gondola. Mal was perfect, then what's wrong?
Biggest mall in the world that is perfect has only one problem, which no one is likely want to rent a shop in it. In fact, eventually the mall is never used at all and just be an empty building then dusty.
There are several reasons why the mall was not sold. For one thing, the location is not strategic Dongguan. This area is only inhabited by 10 million people with an income that is below average. Local communities who want to visit the mall even this had to travel a few hours.
