<\/p>\nA GIGANTIC palace in China is going viral on the internet as the biggest mansion in the country – and is the most mysterious piece of real estate.<\/p>\n
Dubbed the "White House", this secret mansion is located in the Wetland Park area of \u200b\u200bthe\u00a0Guizhou province – but the locals know nothing about it. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finished in white paint, the mansion resembles the White House in the US, hence the moniker. <\/p>\n
Apart from its title as China\u2019s largest mansion, the Guiyang White House is also famous for its vast design and European architecture.<\/p>\n
The locals in the Guizhou province have reported that not much is known about the eerie mansion in terms of ownership. <\/p>\n
A dozen guards are always seen patrolling the complex of Guiyang White House at all times – and entry inside the gigantic estate is forbidden, according to the locals. <\/p>\n
Some estimates suggest the entire complex – including the 12-storey building and the artificial pond in front – covers 18.3 million square metres of area.<\/p>\n \u201cExcellent\u201d, \u201cluxurious\u201d, and \u201cclassy\u201d are the words tourists and residents use to describe this place – and it looks even more splendid under the lights at night. <\/p>\n It is said the luxurious interior can be accessed by several rosewood-decked elevators – and that the rooms inside are made of gold.<\/p>\n Some even speculate about the ownership of the mansion, saying it belongs to Xiao Chunhong – CEO of the Guizhou Honglichen Group, and the wealthiest man in Guiyang.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It is said that Xiao lives in the gigantic palace, and the patrolling guards are there to provide for his security. <\/p>\n The lack of information sparked speculation among curious locals and those from further afield.<\/p>\n The building has become a landmark – attracting tourists from all over China to see it with their own eyes and take photos from afar.<\/p>\n The White House's real name is actually the Guiyang Art Centre – although the link with arts is unclear. <\/p>\n It is reportedly due to open as a hotel in 2025, managed by the Accor Group.<\/p>\n According to Accor's website, the hotel will have 64 suites, two large halls and amenities such as a swimming pool, spa, gym, restaurant and bar.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a tall skyscraper twice as high as The Shard has been left deserted in Northern China after a government ban.<\/p>\n Dubbed "The Walking Stick" because of the structural shape, Goldin Finance 117 would have been the fifth-tallest building in the world, if finished.<\/p>\n The tower was\u00a0topped out\u00a0in 2015 at a height of 1,957 ft – and has 128\u00a0storeys\u00a0above ground, with 117 of them planned to go for housing, hotel, and commercial space.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TB_COMP_JAPAN_HOTEL-1.jpg\")
