I could see a gigantic building from my hotel in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. It was massive. It dwarfed everything else in the area. I had to go and find out what it was.

The building was the New Century Global Centre, which was the world’s largest building in terms of floor area.

I took a taxi to the New Century Global Centre, and we took a long time to get there. The building grew larger and larger. It was much further away than it looked.

When I arrived, I realised how big the building was — massive!

The inside of the New Century Global Centre, I found to be very odd.

The inside was cavernous. I had never been in a building like it.
