– What is the easiest to photograph? – Once they asked the brave Schweik. – Stations! – answered the good -natured soldier. – After all, they do not move, but stand in one place.

1. Sunny ark (Japan)
The largest sunny battery in the world is, as expected, in the country of the rising sun. The largest of the ever-existing monuments of solar energy was built in Japan in 2001, in the city of GIFA. The shape of the power plant resembles a bend of a samurai sword. Over the year, the battery produces over 600 thousand kilowat-hours, according to this indicator, the monument can compete with a small power station. If you are in the city of GIFA and are going to visit the ark, come in the evening. After sunset, 77 thousand multi -colored LEDs are turned on on the facade of the building, which resemble the army of fireflies.

2. Office Center Guanzhou-Yuan (China)
The highest reinforced concrete bagel in the world is in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. The height of the Guangzhou-Yuan office center is 138 meters. This is almost the height of the Leningradskaya Hotel on the Square of Three Stations in Moscow. Guangzhou-yuan stands next to the river (the name of which will still not say anything to the Russian ear) and its reflection forms the number 8. Or the sign of infinity. Which, however, does not matter – both in China are considered a symbol of good luck.

3. House Robot Building (Thailand)
A relatively low, only twenty floors, the bank building in the Bangkok business center of the Russian eye is more familiar than any other. The fact is that the building resembles with its appearance a robot from the cartoon “Well, wait a minute!” The very one who was chasing with a hammer behind the wolf.
On the head of the robot, that is, on the roof of the building, two lightning rods, they are also antennas. Two huge windows replace the eyes, the role of the eyelids is performed by steel blinds. The robot is not enough hands.

4. The house of the piano and violin (China)
Few buildings are being built for the sole purpose – to attract tourists. In 2007, in the Chinese city of Huaynan, the architects of the “piano and violin” did this: they came up with the attraction that inflicted the city on the map of the world.
And although inside the “piano”, which is made of black tinted glass, there is a scientific and exhibition center, there can be no other practical significance, except to attract curious travelers, there can be no other form with such a form. The construction with the task copes with “Hurray”: to look at gigantic musical instruments (they are made on a scale of 1 to 50),
Tourists from all over the world come to Huainan.
5. Ring of life (China)
Another building that local authorities built to draw attention to the city. A giant steel orbit located in the Chinese city of Fushun is called the “Ring of Life” and is a 170-meter ring. There are no premises inside, there is only an observation deck to which those who want to raise a high -speed elevator. At night, twelve thousand multi -colored LED lamps are lit on the building. The sight is impressive.
6. House-slone (Thailand)
In almost all countries of Asia, it is generally accepted that the elephant brings good luck to the house. In Thailand, the attitude to the elephant is special: it is a national animal. For Thaz, put an elephant porcelain figure in the house on the shelf, how to hang a horseshoe over the door in Russia. Probably, every Tatets would like to work in a building, the outlines of which repeat the contour of the elephant.
The house-slope is located in Bangkok and consists of three towers. On the right edge near the building, balconies are growing and look, without blinking, two huge round windows-eyes.
7. Tropical park “Garden at the Gulf” (Singapore)
The most beautiful landscape park in the world is in Singapore. The vertical park is located on eighteen giant buildings in the form of trees with a height of 25 to 50 meters. Tropical plants with rare species of vines and ferns are intertwined with structures made of iron rods and concrete. With the onset of darkness, the “trees” are illuminated by colorful lights. Between the buildings, without going down to the ground, you can cross the bridges and aboveground crossings, admiring the water gardens.
8. Tower Petronas (Malaysia)
If you once get lost in the center of Kuala Lumpur, raise your head and look up. Find the Petronas tower in the sky. Go to the side of the tower – all the most interesting there. Malay twin towers, the Petronas business center, like the highest tree in the desert, at the same time play the role of a landmark and serve as an attraction of all living things. Although the towers are not geographically in the center of Kuala Lumpur, the business and entertainment center of the city is located around them. The top of each tower in a section draws the contour of the Muslim eight -pointed star – Islam in Malaysia is a state religion.
9. Menara (Malaysia)
You can see the capital of Malaysia Kuala-Lumpur from a bird’s height of a bird flight in two ways. First: climb on the Petronas towers, or rather to the bridge connecting two buildings. But for this you have to get up very early and withstand the long line in the cash desks. The second path is much easier: to walk in the center of the city to Menar’s TV tower (15 minutes from Chinataun),
Pay 2 dollars and climb the elevator to the observation deck. When choosing a visit day, take into account that in cloudy weather it makes no sense to climb the observation deck, the city will be hidden in the clouds and fog. Wait for a sunny day.

10. Lotus Building (China)
The jug, which was lucky enough to move from the swamp to the lake is called the lotus. Even if this lake was poured specifically for her. In such an artificial lake, the Lotus building proudly “floats”, built in 2013 in the Chinese city of Changzhou. The complex in which the cultural center is located consists of three giant buds: architects depicted three stages of plant development, which turns into a beautiful flower. In order for a lotus made of stone, glass and metal to be even more like a real flower, it was lined with hexagonal mosaic slabs of beige and light pink color.
