New Century Global Center
Located in southern Chengdu, New Century Global Center is one of the city’s most impressive modern landmarks. Known as one of the world’s largest single buildings by floor area, this huge architectural complex combines shopping, entertainment, leisure, business, hotels, and cultural facilities into one spectacular destination.

With its unique design concept inspired by flowing water, ocean waves, and flying sea creatures, the building creates a dreamlike atmosphere where visitors can enjoy a seaside-style experience without leaving Chengdu.
