Marvel at China's most futuristic cityscape
Shenzhen's skyline is a testament to China's rapid development and technological advancement. In just four decades, this former fishing village has transformed into a metropolis with one of the world's most impressive skylines.
The city boasts more than 200 skyscrapers over 150 meters tall, including the Ping An Finance Centre - the fourth tallest building in the world. The skyline beautifully combines architectural innovation with sustainable design principles.
• Ping An Finance Centre (599m)
• KK100 (441m)
• Shun Hing Square (384m)
• Shenzhen Stock Exchange (246m)
• Lianhuashan Park
• Ping An Finance Centre Observation Deck
• Shenzhen Bay Park
• Nanshan Mountains
The skyline transforms at night with spectacular light shows. The most famous is the nightly show at the Ping An Finance Centre, where lasers and LED lights create mesmerizing patterns across the building's facade.
The best time to view the skyline is during the late afternoon to evening, when you can witness the transition from daylight to the illuminated nightscape. Most observation decks are open from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
For photography enthusiasts, golden hour (just before sunset) offers the most dramatic lighting conditions. Tripods are recommended for capturing the city lights at night.
