Daniel walks in the studio.
Daniel is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears glasses, beige trousers and a maroon TVO Kids sweatshirt.
He says WELCOME BACK
TO
TVOK NEWS.
On a screen behind him appears a picture of different world famous buildings with the caption "Sideways Skyscraper."
Daniel says NOW, AS YOU KNOW,
SKYSCRAPERS MAKE UP A HUGE PART
OF A CITY'S SKYLINE.
PARIS HAS GOT
THE EIFFEL TOWER,
NEW YORK HAS
THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING,
AND TORONTO HAS
THE CN TOWER.
He tilts to the side and says BUT HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO LOOK AT
A SKYSCRAPER LIKE THIS?
WELL,
IF YOU TRAVEL TO CHINA,
THAT MIGHT HAVE TO BE
THE WAY YOU LOOK AT
THEIR NEW SKYSCRAPER.
THAT'S RIGHT,
LET'S BREAK IT DOWN.
THIS IS THE RAFFLES CITY COMPLEX
IN THE CITY OF CHONGQING,
WHICH IS IN
SOUTH-WESTERN CHINA.
IT CONSISTS OF EIGHT TOWERS,
WITH A GIGANTIC SKYBRIDGE
THAT CONNECTS THEM.
THE DESIGN OF THIS BUILDING
IS INSPIRED BY
CHINESE SAILING VESSELS,
WHICH IS A NOD TO THE CITY'S
TRADING HISTORY.
THE EIGHT TOWERS WILL CONTAIN
A SHOPPING MALL,
RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS,
A LUXURY HOTEL,
AS WELL AS LAVISH
OFFICE SPACES.
THE SKYBRIDGE IS CALLED CRYSTAL,
AND IT'S 250 METRES LONG,
AND IS SAID TO BE ONE OF THE
HIGHEST BRIDGES IN THE WORLD.
THE CRYSTAL BRIDGE WILL INCLUDE
SEVERAL RESTAURANTS,
SKY GARDENS,
AN INFINITY POOL,
AND A VIEWING GALLERY.
AND, IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH,
AT NIGHT,
THE CRYSTAL TRANSFORMS INTO
A GIANT LIGHT BEAM
THAT PUTS ON A MAGNIFICENT
LIGHT SHOW THAT ILLUMINATES
THE NIGHT SKY.
SO COOL.
HOWEVER, IT'S NOT QUITE
FINISHED YET.
THE SKYSCRAPER IS ON COURSE TO
OPEN SOMETIME THIS YEAR.
I'M SO EXCITED!
WHAT DO YOU THINK
THEY'LL BUILD NEXT,
A DIAGONAL SKYSCRAPER?
AN UPSIDE-DOWN SKYSCRAPER?
AN UPSIDE-DOWN AND DIAGONAL
SKYSCRAPER?
OH, I CAN'T WAIT
TO SEE WHAT'S NEXT.
STAY TUNED
FOR OUR FEATURED STORY.
