In honor of Boxing Day (otherwise known as the day to head to the mall and exchange gifts you hated for something much better), we’re traveling around the world to discover the 10 largest malls.
With added amenities like theme hotels, water parks, indoor roller coasters, casinos, and aquariums, you might not think that there is a lot of retailing going on, but you’re wrong.
At the second largest mall in the world, Golden Resources, in Beijing, the location is far enough outside of the city, that it attracts determined shoppers, rather than numerous tourists.
For those seeking more than shopping, the Dubai Mall is the best destination, boasting an aquarium, ice rink and a hotel to unwind in after a long day of walking.
A complete list of malls guaranteed to keep you shopping all year long, can be found here.
