The world's tallest living Christmas tree has lit up in Japan. What is the size of the largest Christmas tree in the world. The largest tree from LEGO, Malaysia. The tallest tree in Russia
Preparation for the New Year begins a month before the celebration. For a long time, the largest Christmas tree in Russia was located in Moscow, then in Krasnoyarsk. Since 2014, the largest Christmas tree in Russia has been located in Grozny. It took several weeks to install this beauty.
The Elka-record holder of Russia is located in the center of Grozny, opposite the Grozny-City complex. This year, for the first time, a Christmas tree was made from artificial branches. Prior to this, the Christmas tree was installed using natural spruce branches.
The height of the Christmas tree reaches 50 meters, which is several meters higher than the height of the Krasnoyarsk Christmas tree. It took 12 days of work to install this beauty: in 2 shifts, 12 workers mounted and decorated it. By the way, to decorate it, it took a garland more than 7 kilometers long. On the Christmas tree you can see about 3 thousand different colorful toys. And at the top of the Christmas tree, a bright red star proudly rises. The weight of the New Year's beauty was 100 tons.
The Christmas tree installed in Grozny takes the 2nd place in the world ranking of the height of Christmas trees. The first place was given to the floating Christmas tree in Rio de Janeiro, whose height is 84.5 meters. It will be possible to admire this beauty from all the embankments of the city.
Among the artificial Christmas trees, installed on a solid space, is considered a giant Christmas tree located in Mexico City. Its height is 110 meters! To imagine its height, you can look at a 40-story building. The tree was installed within 2 months. More than two hundred workers used three hundred thousand tons of metal structures. It is difficult to imagine how many garlands were used to decorate the record-breaking Christmas tree. It will take workers at least a month to disassemble the beauty.
Until 2014, the Krasnoyarsk tree was considered the highest in Russia. Now she occupies an honorable third place in the world ranking, and her height is 46 meters.
Every year, ratings of the highest Christmas trees in the country and the world are compiled. There are also ratings of the strangest Christmas trees in the world. For example, in London they installed a huge Christmas tree, consisting of six hundred neon lamps: an indescribable sight. To make a Christmas tree, you can use everything that is at hand. Some countries took these words literally: Christmas trees were made from bicycles, pipes, grocery carts, etc.
By the way, in Brazil there was an attempt to install the largest artificial Christmas tree in the world with a height of more than 110 meters, but during installation, part of the structure collapsed. They did not begin to finish building it, considering this a sign that the world record could not be broken.
In Peru, students created a Christmas tree made up of different types of potatoes. This Christmas tree was included in the Guinness Book of Records in the nomination "The most edible Christmas tree in the world."
In pursuit of fame, every country is trying to build the most beautiful and tallest Christmas tree in the world.
In Russia, the tallest Christmas tree is located in Grozny. This beauty, almost 51 meters high, has been pleasing the eyes of city residents since 2014. Prior to this, the tallest Christmas tree in Russia was the Christmas tree located in Krasnoyarsk, the height of which reached 46 meters.
Christmas and New Year are just around the corner, and around the world in megacities and tiny towns, festive trees are about to light up or have already been lit up.
Someone will be content with a small spruce in a pot, someone will install an artificial analogue of a forest beauty, but there are also cities that have chosen a non-standard option.
So, where in the world for the New Year dress up the most unusual spruce?
The biggest tree, Mexico City
For several years now, the Mexico City tree has been the winner in the Biggest Christmas Tree category. The height of the festive tree is 110 meters 35 centimeters, which is as much as 24 centimeters more than the previous winner, the Christmas tree from Brazil. Mexican spruce is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest, but it is known not only for its size.
It takes 80 kilometers of garlands and more than a million light bulbs to decorate it. This miracle shines in the night like a small sun, and the pattern on it changes every year.
The largest floating Christmas tree, Rio de Janeiro
The most unsinkable Christmas tree has been installed for almost 20 years in Rio de Janeiro, on Lake Lagoa. On four giant pontoons, a structure weighing more than 500 tons and 85 meters high is installed. About a hundred kilometers of garlands are put on a huge floating spruce, and its decorations are made of three million lanterns. Their number is so great, and the work of lighting engineers is so precise, that spruce can not only change patterns, but also show animated pictures.
By the way, the most amazing view of the Christmas tree opens from Mount Corcovado, from the foot of the statue of Christ the Savior.
The largest installation of the Christmas tree, Mount Ingino (Italy)
Who among us did not draw a Christmas tree in childhood? But the Italian perfectionists decided that their image of spruce would be the largest in the world. For more than 20 years, volunteers have been unwinding 8.5 kilometers of garlands on Mount Inzhino, creating their giant installation. The resulting spruce reaches 650 meters in height and 350 in width, and it can be seen from a distance of 50 kilometers.
Do not forget to decorate this creation: the lights flickering on the Christmas tree are 730 multi-colored spotlights. The only minus of such joy is the payment for electricity, because, presumably, a solid figure runs up from the Christmas tree in a month.
The most delicious tree
At Christmas, Paris becomes the capital of the world not only for all romantics, but also for those with a sweet tooth. After all, it is here that a ten-meter spruce is created from pure chocolate. Masters work on its creation for several weeks, and not only confectioners, but also engineers take part in the work.
Four tons of material, by the way, do not remain unnecessary after the holiday. Already on the morning after Christmas, the tree is sold for 5 € per 100 grams, and by the New Year there is not a piece left.
The most romantic Christmas tree, London
One of the festive venues in London has become an ideal place for lovers. An interactive Christmas tree is installed on it, the garlands on which light up from kisses. According to tradition, you need to kiss under the mistletoe branch, and in London they offer to take it with your hands. After the couple starts kissing, the tree will shine and music will sound.
By the way, this pleasure is not free, and those who want to show their love to the whole city will have to pay one pound. However, all the money raised goes to charitable foundations, so when you kiss, you combine business with pleasure as never before.
The most sustainable Christmas tree, Tokyo
Unexpectedly, the employees of the Japanese aquarium Enoshima approached the issue of decorating a small Christmas tree. Their tree was planted next to an aquarium that is home to electric eels. Metal plates were dipped into the water, and now every time the eels generate a discharge, the garlands connected to these plates begin to glow.
Of course, a fir tree decorated in this way does not shine all the time and certainly not on schedule, but this does not affect the joy of employees and visitors.
The most criticized Christmas tree, Berlin
Well, the Berlin Christmas tree, installed in front of the Kaiser Wilhelm Church, was recognized as the most sensational and most unsympathetic. Environmental activists created it from scrap metal and discarded things, so the tree turned out to be really depressing.
Headless mannequins, tattered toys, and flames spewed by a spruce tree contrast so much with the holiday that the townspeople are horrified and demand to remove the tree. Well, its authors hope that this exposition will draw public attention to the problems of excessive consumption and competent waste disposal.
Of course, there are in the world and not so titled, but no less charming Christmas trees. After all, the main thing in this holiday is not the height of the spruce or the splendor of her outfit, but the magical mood that she gives. So if you can’t get to one of these trees at Christmas, just dress up your own and enjoy its beauty.
In December 2012, a floating Christmas tree was lit up in Rio de Janeiro. The 542-ton tree, 85 meters high, was installed on 11 huge platforms in the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon. This tree, decorated with a garland of 3.1 million light bulbs, got into the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest of its kind.
2. Chocolate tree (France)
This sweet masterpiece, about 10 meters high, was created in Paris for a charity event. This creation of French chocolatiers weighs about four tons.
The most expensive Christmas tree of this year was decorated at the Palace Hotel Abu Dhabi - its value exceeds $ 11 million. A 12-meter artificial tree stands in the hotel's rotunda decorated with gilded leaves. Gold and silver jewelry was hung on it, it shimmers with small white lights.
But the decorations made of real jewels give special value to the Christmas tree. Diamonds, emeralds, pearls, sapphires and other precious stones hang on it - a total of 181 pieces. In addition, bracelets, necklaces and expensive watches create festive decor.
4. Goldentree (Japan)
Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka collaborated with Walt Disney Studios Japan to create a 2.4-meter golden Christmas tree in honor of Walt Disney's 110th anniversary. It took about 40 kilograms of gold to make the tree, and you can find figurines of 50 popular Disney characters on it. The tree is estimated at 350 million Japanese yen (approximately 4.2 million US dollars).
5. ElectronicChristmas tree (Belgium)
This year in Brussels, instead of an ordinary tree, they decided to install its artificial, abstract and electronic analogue as the main Christmas tree of the country.
A giant "Christmas tree" rises in the very center of the Belgian capital, although many people do not particularly like such "modernization". This steel installation comes to life at night with light and music shows featuring twinkling lights, glowing cubes and a mixture of different styles of music. In addition, visitors can climb to the very top of this "tree", which offers stunning views of the city.
In 2012, the tallest Lego tree (400,000 pieces) was built in Asia's first LEGOLAND amusement park. The opening of this nine-meter creation was dedicated to a special light ceremony.
7. Electric tree (England)
This electric Christmas tree has graced one of London's gas stations this year, next to the Regents Canal.
This Christmas installation is located in Murano, one of the islands in the Venetian lagoon, famous for its glass production. Its height is about 8.5 meters, weight is about three tons. The Christmas tree is made from thousands of glass tubes.
The tradition of celebrating the “singing Christmas tree” has been observed in the American city of Charlotte (North Carolina) since 1953.
The tallest living tree is in Wilmington, North Carolina. Actually, this is not a Christmas tree, but an oak tree covered with Spanish moss. The tree is at least 400 years old. He was dressed up for the first time at Christmas in 1928. Then they put garlands of 500 multi-colored light bulbs on him. Today it has 5,250 lights on it. The height of the tree is a little over 20 meters, the width is about 33 meters.
The New Year is approaching, one of the brightest 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 the 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 the total weight of the structure is 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. Thanks to this, the Christmas tree can take on a wide 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 largest Christmas tree in the world (installed in the Brazilian city of Arakahu), by 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).
Surely many of us would like to admire a large, beautifully decorated Christmas tree in the New Year. A New Year tree is set up in almost every city, let's look at the largest of them:
1 place. The biggest tree in the world to be located in Italy in the commune of Gubbio (Umbria). Although, of course, it is possible to call the light composition lying on Mount Ingino a Christmas tree with great difficulty, nevertheless, it looks like a Christmas tree. Its height is 650 meters, width at the base is 350 meters. The outline of the Christmas tree is created with 260 lamps, and the star at the top is created with 200 smaller lamps. 270 lamps were used to illuminate the interior of the composition.
For the first time, such a Christmas tree was installed on Mount Ingino in 1981, and in 1991 it was listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
2nd place . The largest artificial Christmas tree in the world was installed in 2009 in Mexico City. The height of the metal structure was 110 meters 35 centimeters, and the weight was 330 tons! The width of the lower part is 40 meters. The length of the garlands, consisting of 8 million light bulbs, was 80,000 meters. A huge Christmas tree is installed annually and each time appears in new colors.
The installation of the giant was carried out by 200 workers for 2 months. The Christmas tree was located on Pasio de la Reforma Avenue in Zocalo Square. During the Christmas holidays, more than 3 million people came to see it. One day Placido Domingo himself gave a concert. Also, near the largest Christmas tree in the world, the city authorities organized various recreational activities, including a very unusual vacation for Mexico, namely an ice track. The Pepsi company became the sponsor of the construction of the unique "tree".
3rd place . A giant artificial Christmas tree, 110 meters 11 centimeters high, was installed in the city of Arakahu (Brazil). At one time, the building claimed the title tallest tree in the world. However, a collapse occurred during installation, killing four people.
4th place. The height of the Christmas tree, installed at the end of 2011 in Rio de Janeiro, was 85 meters. The uniqueness of this "tree" is that it was installed on a floating platform.
More than 3 million light bulbs were used for decoration, the total weight of the metal structure was 542 tons. On New Year's Eve in the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon (it was here that a beautiful structure was installed) a grand fireworks display took place, lasting 6 minutes.
