The New Year is coming, one of the most bright holidays. And the topic of the next post will be the Christmas tree. And not just one, but three. Well, given the name of this site, of course, these will be Christmas trees created by human hands. Each of which is the largest of its kind.
So, this is the world's largest floating tree, just the world's largest tree, and the world's largest Christmas tree light installation.
The world's largest floating Christmas tree is installed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Lake Lagoa. This lake is next to the Corcovado mountain, which has a statue of Christ the Redeemer. But during Christmas and new year holidays, it is the Christmas tree that becomes the main attraction of Rio. This year, it is installed for the 16th time. The tree has a height of 85 meters, and total weight structures - 542 tons. All this keeps four pontoons afloat, with a total area of 810 square meters. The Christmas tree is decorated with garlands, the total length of which is 105 kilometers, and the number of lanterns in these garlands is about 3 million 300 thousand pieces. Thereby, Christmas tree can take on a variety of colors, and even reproduce animated pictures.
The largest Christmas tree in the world (without any attachments, such as waterfowl, etc.) is installed in the capital of Mexico, Mexico City. Its height is 110 meters, 35 centimeters. If you wonder why such accuracy, right up to centimeters? Let me explain. The fact is that the Mexican Christmas tree broke the record of the previous most big Christmas tree in the world (installed in the Brazilian city of Arakahu), only 24 centimeters !!! However, this was quite enough to bring it into the Guinness Book of Records. This year it is installed for the 3rd time. The diameter of the Mexican beauty at the base reaches 40 meters, weight - about 300 tons. It takes 80 kilometers of garlands with 1 million 200 thousand light bulbs to decorate the Christmas tree.
However, the world's largest decoration in the form of a Christmas tree is not a Christmas tree at all, but a light installation. Since 1981, on Mount Ingino (Italy), several dozen volunteers have placed 8.5 kilometers of electrical cables with 730 multi-colored spotlights. All this is located in the form of a Christmas tree, the height of which is 650 meters, and the width is 350. And when the illumination turns on, Mount Inzhino takes on such a look (and everything is visible from a distance of up to 50 kilometers).
