Shanghai Tower in Shanghai is the tallest building in China. Shanghai Tower has been classified as megatall.

China has the largest number of skyscrapers in the world, surpassing that of the top eleven largest, the United States (870+), United Arab Emirates (310+), South Korea (270+), Japan (270+), Malaysia (260+), Australia (140+), Indonesia (130+), Canada (130+), Philippines (120+) and Thailand (120+) combined.[1][2] As of mid 2022, China has more than 3,000 skyscrapers above 150 m (490 ft), of which 100 are "supertall" (300 m (980 ft) and above).[2][3] 45 of the 84 buildings (completed and architecturally topped out) with a minimum height of 350 m (1,150 ft) worldwide are in China (including Hong Kong).

China is home to five of the world's ten tallest buildings.[4] The tallest tower in China is currently the Shanghai Tower, located in the namesake city at a height of 632 m (2,073 ft);[5][6] it is the third-tallest building in the world. The previous two tallest buildings in mainland China have also been in Shanghai.

In June 2020, China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) imposed a ban on the construction of super high-rise buildings taller than 500 m (1,600 ft), due to safety reasons and waste of resources.[7] In October 2021, the Chinese government announced restrictions on the construction of supertall buildings. The country's Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) said the action is driven by concerns on "issues such as costs, energy consumption, safety, and environmental impact".[8][9][10]

Tallest buildings

As it is impractical to list all of its skyscrapers, the table below is an incomplete list of skyscrapers in China which ranks buildings that stand at least 300 m (980 ft) tall, sorted by height. This list includes skyscrapers in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

This list does not include nonbuilding structures, such as the 604 m (1,982 ft) Canton Tower in Guangzhou, which despite being the second tallest structure in China, is actually an observation tower.

Of the 122 buildings in this list, 20 are in Shenzhen, 11 are in Guangzhou, 7 are in Hong Kong, 6 are in Shanghai and 2 are in Beijing.

  1. ^ The published data since 2017 considers 200m or taller buildings in the counting, rather than the 150m or taller from the previous table. Due to this, the number of completed buildings per year in this table is slightly smaller than in that previous one.
