8. World's largest shopping mall - South China Mall

The South China Mall (http://www.southchinamall.com.cn) in Dongguan crushed all rival mega malls as of 2005 with around 6.5 million square feet of retail space and 7 different wings with themes of Amsterdam, California, the Caribbean, Egypt, Paris, Rome, and Venice, and, of course, an amusement park. Missing? Businesses and customers with few of the 1,500 retail spaces occupied in the suburban mall 70 miles north of Hong Kong.
