It wasn’t. It was filled with stuff to go see. A shopping mall, a museum, two model villages, an apartment complex, a library, a garden park etc. It wasnt just giant to fill in space and block area. People would come to visit it on a regular basis just to see the inside.
The timer link I don’t think was it as it was relatively nearby and was in a spot I dont think anyone would care to build on and was perhaps a few blocks linked together in total
