St. Basils Cathedral- Moscow, Russia

St. Basils Cathedral- Moscow
St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow, Russia was built by Ivan the Terrible between 1555 and 1561.which occured on the Feast of the Intercession of the Virgin. The cathedral was thus officially named Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin by the Moat According to legends, the builder of this Cathedral was blinded so that such a beautiful structure could neverbe built again. The Cathedral is vividly colorful and contains redbrick towers that add to its beauty. The church’s design consists of nine chapels, each mounted with its individual dome that marks the assault on the city of Kazan.St. Basil's marks the geometric center of Moscow. It has been the hub of the city's growth since the 14th century and was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600. The popular alternative refers to Basil the Blessed, a Muscovite 'holy fool' who was buried on the site (in the Trinity Cathedral that once stood here) a few years before the present building was erected.

New South China Mall

New South China Mall
South China Mall is the largest mall in the world.It is in Dongguan,It has leasable space for over 1,500 stores in approximately 6.5 million square feet (600,000 square metres) of total floor area.and ranked second in total area to the Dubai Mall.However, it is largely vacant. Unlike other "dead malls",This mall has seven zones modeled on international cities, nations and regions, including Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Venice, Egypt, the Caribbean, and California. Although the mall opened in 2005, it suffers from a lack of retailers. Much of the retail space remains empty, with 99.2 percent of the stores vacant. Many analysts say that the main reason the mall is so far largely unoccupied is that it is located in the suburbs of Dongguan, which means that it is only practical to travel there using a car. The mall is scheduled to close in July 2008.the New South China Mall, which opened in 2005, stands empty with 99 per cent of its shops having remained unleased and attractions including a 553-metre indoor and outdoor roller coaster standing idle.
