  Chalk another record to the United Arab Emirates' collection。

  The Capital Gate building in the desert kingdom's capital, Abu Dhabi, has been certified by Guinness World Records as the "World's Furthest Leaning Man-made Tower." How far does it lean? Nearly five times farther than the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy。

  The 35-story, 160-meter-high Abu Dhabi building has an 18-degree slope. Unlike the tower in Pisa, the Capital Gate building has been deliberately engineered to slant。

  "It is a signature building which speaks to the foresight of the emirate," said Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon al Nahyan, the chairman of the building's owner, Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company。

  The mixed-use building will be ready for occupancy at the end of the year。

  In January, Dubai unveiled the world's tallest skyscraper: -the $1.5 billion, 160-story Burj Khalifa-, which has a height of more than 800 meters。

  据美国有线电视新闻网报道,阿联酋让人叹为观止的建筑群中又添惊艳——世界最斜斜塔“首都门”。

  据报道,阿联酋首都阿布扎比在建的“首都门”目前已经被吉尼斯世界纪录认证为“世界上最斜的人造塔”。其倾斜度几乎是意大利比萨斜塔倾斜度的5倍。

  这座35层塔高160米,整座塔向西倾斜18度。和比萨斜塔不同,这座塔的倾斜是刻意建造而成。

  此建筑的“拥有者”阿布扎比国家展览公司的董事长阿勒纳哈扬说道:“这是一个标志性建筑,象征着这个国家的远见卓识。”

  据悉,“首都门”将于今年年底前完工,届时将成为集酒店和办公场所为一体的综合建筑。

  早在今年年初,“世界第一高楼迪拜塔”便在迪拜竣工。该建筑一共有160层,高达800多米,造价为15亿美元。
