Shenzhen, a major city and Special Economic Zone in Guangdong, China, is home to over 451 completed skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft), of which 185 are taller than 200 m (656 ft), making it the largest concentration in the world.[1][2] The tallest building in Shenzhen is the Ping An Finance Centre, which rises 599 m (1,965 ft).[3] The 115-story skyscraper also stands as the second-tallest building in China and the fifth-tallest building in the world. At 442 m (1,450 ft), the KK100 is the second-tallest completed building in the city.[4] Shenzhen's high-rise building boom shows no signs of slowing down,[5] with numerous proposals for skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft).

Skyscraper construction started in Shenzhen in 1978, at a time when the tallest building in the city was five stories tall.[6] In the next decade, 300 high-rises were erected in the city,[6] including the Guomao Building. It was the city's first skyscraper and was the tallest building in mainland China upon its opening in 1985.[7] As Shenzhen's highrise construction boom progressed into the 1990s, the skyscrapers erected in the city became taller. In the decade spanning from 1996 to 2006, 18 buildings taller than 200 m (656 ft) were completed. The tallest of these is the Diwang Building (Shun Hing Square), the city's first building to exceed 300 m (984 ft) in height.[8] Most of Shenzhen's skyscrapers are concentrated in the Luohu, Futian and Nanshan districts.[9][10] Shenzhen's skyscraper boom is attributed to its status as one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.[5]
