Infographic: How many expats fit in world landmarks?

Countries around the world have varying expatriation rates, but what if all the Chinese expats around the world decided to hold a reunion in one of their country’s most famous landmarks?

This thought intrigued us, so we took expats from around the world to see if we can fit them into a famous landmark in their home country. To do this, we sourced the number of citizens living abroad, calculated their combined square footage (approximately 3 square feet per person) to see how they’d measure up against the area of their country’s most well-known temples and buildings. You can see our data below:
