At 599 metres, Ping An Finance Center is the tallest building in Shenzhen and one of the tallest in the world. The steel-and-stone spire above Futian CBD is the tower you see in almost every skyline photo of the city.
Most visitors come for Free Sky (云际观光层), the observation deck on the 116th floor, with 360° views across Futian and, on a clear day, over to Hong Kong's New Territories. The lower floors are a mall with restaurants, and Coco Park's bars and restaurants are a short walk away.
Also known as: PAFC · Ping An Tower · Ping An International Finance Centre
