I was not just referring to China's acreage. China is also very big vertically - and this vertical building is not just limited to a handful of cities.

Being originally from Scotland, almost every large country or city is mind-blowingly big as far as I'm concerned :)

It is quite eye opening when you hear of name of some "smaller" Chinese city you have never heard of and then go look the population only to find it to be in millions.

A friend of mine in college was an international student from China. He was from a city I had never heard of and it boasted a population of 7 million people.

Being in Scotland I see that as a feature not a bug ;-)
