Guangzhou's Newest Development Project
Ostentatious. It's the only word to describe the Guangzhou Regal Riviera, a new development on the south bank of the Pearl River. The palace of Versailles seems to have been the model for this ridiculous show of wealth.
Next door the city has embarked on construction of the world's largest sight-seeing tower, a 600 meter monster that will take you some 200 stories above the city for a view of, um, smog and construction probably. The base of this tower is the circular structure on the right side of the panorama photo. Click on the picture for a better view.
Old communists are rolling in their graves as the new bourgeousie of China demonstrate's its complete lack of concern for equality and public perception. The new condos inside are selling for 15,000 RMB ($2,000+) per square meter. Video tour of one of these units coming soon.

That is not very nice to say about Pearl River New City! Am surprised though that you didn't say anything about the most ugly statue ever...Th 5 ram statue
I've never actually seen the five ram statues, as we got totally lost in the park and never found it...but I'm sure its ugly.
