Let it freeze in the winter for ice climbing. 100 meters vertical ice, nice!! Yes, the weight and the glass, expansion/ contraction. Don't know, if you don't try.

We spend the money, and the Chinese get the fun stuff. Who said they are all work and no play?

>>The electricity needed to keep the monstrous mountain of water flowing costs about $118 per hour.

maybe they should put a waterfall generator at the bottom...

Nice picture. Wonder what it will look like 5 years from now. I’m guessing similar to the Bejing Olympic complex.

I’m guessing the waterfall also generates a lot of noise for the office occupants.

Some poor sucker is going to have to clean the hard water stains...or since it’s China, probably not. :)

It looks really cool. It’s also hugely wasteful. When the real estate bubble in China bursts - and it will given they have a national debt of 300% of GDP - this will be cited as a prime example of the kind of wastefulness that caused all the pain to follow.

But yeah, it does look really cool.

When water line brakes call it a waterfall until maintenance arrives.

Better idea: LED-Powered “Waterfall” Transforms Brutalist Tower in Madison

Hundreds of LED nodes were used to power Electric Waterfall, a lighting installation that activated the drab facade of a local eyesore.
