World’s tallest horizontal skyscraper’ will feature two swimming pools, restaurants and a light show 820ft in the air
A Chinese city is about to complete the country's new landmark after six years of construction.
The project was designed by architect Moshe Safdie. It was inspired by Chinese sailing vessels and is a tribute to Chongqing historical past as a maritime trading centre.
An enormous commercial complex comprising eight skyscrapers, the £2.7 billion mega-structure in Chongqing, south-west China, has a huge rooftop corridor laid across the tops of four 60-storey buildings at 820 feet.
Stretching 984 feet in length as if a horizontal skyscraper, the spectacular glass-walled structure is nearly as long as The Shard in London laid on its side and three times the height of the Statue of Liberty in New York.
The property, called Raffles City Chongqing, is invested by Singaporean real estate company CapitaLand which owns a chain of shopping malls and office buildings across China.
