Top 10 Shopping Malls of the World
November to December is not only called the holiday season but also called the shopping season. People rush to shopping malls close by to get gifts for others or for their own. Not only to buy gifts, people go to shopping malls just to enjoy the holiday atmosphere.
Indeed shopping malls have become part of the lifestyle of millions of people in United States. To make people stay longer, companys have built bigger and fancier shopping malls. Recently opened Victoria Gardens, a open style shopping mall with 110 shops including three department stores in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, has amazed me with beautiful lanscaping and downtown like shopping atmosphere. As a result we end up spending minimum of 2 hours in the mall. However the mall is considered tiny compare to the world's second largest shopping mall, West Edmonton Mall in Canada which includes indoor wave pool with beach, amusement park with rollar coasters and large water tank with submarine ride, which I visited few years ago.
So ever wondering what's the biggest mall of the world? Have you visited any of them yet? And are any of them in nearby cities or even in the Unites States? Here's the list of the world's largest shopping malls according to shopping areas from the studies conducted by Eastern Connecticut University.
- Golden Resources Shopping Mall(Beijing, China) : the largest mall in the world has 6 million square feet of shopping areas, equivalent to 100 football fields. The 6 level shopping mall was opened last year with more than 1000 stores.
- West Edmonton Mall(Alberta, Canada): held the title for the largest mall in the world for 20 years but is still the largest shopping mall in North America with 3.8 million square feet of shopping spaces. The mall was opened in 1990 with 800 shops and water park, amusement park, indoor lake, aquarium, mini golf and ice ring.
- Beijing Mall(Beijing, China): the 3.4 million square feet mall in China was opened this year with 600 shops on four level of shopping with residences.

This is a pretty good list. I've been to more malls than I care to admit. I have some contentions however. Danbury Fair on the top 10? I could think of about 20 malls in the US I'd put before that one. Otherwise a very good list.
Nova T5 fluorescent retrofits are very low profile. They are even linkable and expandable, energy efficient. These lamps are very simple to install and are easy to apply to custom canopies.

Nowadays indeed shopping malls have become part of the lifestyle of millions of people all over the world. Many of us are going to shopping malls but not only to buy dress but it also to have fun with our family and friends.

Today, malls are not just for shopping. They have evolved into places where you can enjoy a variety of activities. Moreover, malls are economic symbols of a city, serving as an indicator of the amount of wealth a city has. Every time a big mall opens, it feels like there’s a sense of wealth in that area. Ironically, you don’t need to have millions of dollars to enjoy a mall. The structure itself may be grand, but that doesn’t necessarily trickle down to the items inside. There are also areas where you can just hangout, grab something to eat, and enjoy the rest of your day.
