What travel creators are saying about this spot
According to multiple creators, the Global Center in Chengdu offers an impressive and overwhelming atmosphere, largely defined by its staggering size and architecture. Vanessa Huang highlights that it is the largest building in the world by floor area, emphasizing how the scale is so vast that capturing it in a single frame is impossible. She also points out the unique feature of having a massive indoor water park inside, creating a "building inside a building" experience that adds to the mall's appeal. Nic and Cat echoed this sentiment, noting that while the shops themselves were fairly standard and could be browsed quickly, the sheer scale and architectural grandeur make visiting the Global Center worthwhile.
Regarding the mall's contents and background, CoolVision expressed surprise at both the size and the variety within the building but also mentioned a controversial aspect: the businessman behind the project was later arrested on various charges. This adds an intriguing, if somewhat sobering, layer to the mall's story, contrasting with the otherwise awe-inspiring impression created by its size and offerings.
Overall, most creators agree that the Global Center’s main draw lies in its monumental scale and unique features like the indoor water park, rather than the shopping experience itself. While the shops are typical and not the highlight, the architectural marvel and entertainment options provide a memorable visit, making it a destination worth exploring for more than just retail therapy.
