Answer: d) South China Mall – Dongguan, China

According to Forbes, this massive mall is made up of 7.1 million square feet of leasable space. It includes wind mills, theme parks, a replica of the Arc de Triomphe…oh, and lots and lots of stores!

I recently attended the San Diego Travel Expo and the representatives from Edmonton, Canada were quite proud to claim the largest mall in North America as their own. I was surprised to see the Mall of America in my former homestate of Minnesota didn’t make the list. That place is HUGE!
