A landmark that earns the queue · Hanoi, Vietnam
A ceramic mosaic running about 6.5km along the Red River dyke wall, conceived by the journalist Nguyễn Thu Thủy after she won a Hanoi design competition. Work began in 2007 and finished in 2010 for the city's millennium, and on 5 October 2010 Guinness adjudicator Beatriz Fernandez certified 3,850 running metres — 6,950 m² — as the world's largest ceramic mosaic. It follows Âu Cơ, Nghi Tàm, Yên Phụ, Trần Nhật Duật, Trần Quang Khải and Trần Khánh Dư, ending at the Long Biên bridge pier. Every tessera is Bát Tràng ceramic.
A Guinness world record hiding in plain sight on a flood wall, free and open at any hour.
