Give ‘er a look if you haven’t been, if you’re not used to sort of…..illusionary extravagance that is common in China, you’ll certainly see it here
The Global Center is absolutely worth checking out at least once. The scale of the building is amazing. The architectural design of the outside building is interesting and embodies traditional and modern Chinese design, to a degree. But when you go inside, holy shit, it’s the probably the most tastelessly ostentatious building that I’ve been inside of. The first time I went there was with an architect that I was dating at the time and she went into great detail about how everything was all wrong, from the materials to the shapes and layout of objects in the interior. It’s a spectacle.
I hear there’s a decent Thai restaurant inside the Global Center. Never eaten in there before.
