Guangdong · China

8 story sections

The Ping An Finance Centre is the tallest building in Shenzhen and the fifth tallest in the world, standing as a sleek, stainless steel marvel in the heart of the Futian District. The main draw is the Free Sky observation deck on the 116th floor, where you can experience a 360-degree panoramic view of the city and even spot Hong Kong on a clear day. Beyond the vistas, you can test your nerves on the glass-bottomed cantilevered platforms, enjoy interactive VR exhibits, or head to the massive PAFC Mall at the building's base for high-end shopping and dining.
