The Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site is China's newest spaceport. The only launch site built near the sea, it has the country's tallest vehicle assembly building - reaching 99.4 meters. In summer 2014, Super Typhoon Rammasun made landfall near the city of Wenchang. The over-99-meter-tall plant survived and continues to serve China's Long-March 5 rocket - a heavy-lift launch vehicle with the largest payload built to date in the country. In order to move these beasty rockets in and out vertically, the assembly building also has the largest gate in Asia - 81 meters tall.
