Ping An Finance Center

Ping An International Finance Center (Ping An IFC) (Chinese: 平安国际金融中心) is a 115-storey mega-tall skyscraper in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The building was commissioned by Ping An Insurance and designed by the American architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. It was completed in 2017, becoming the tallest building in Shenzhen, the 2nd tallest building in China and the 4th tallest building in the world. It also shares the record (with the Shanghai Tower) of having the highest observation deck in a building at 562 m (1843.8 ft).

Design
The tower originally was planned to have a 60 m (196.9 ft) tall antenna to top the tower and to surpass the height of the Shanghai Tower, making it the tallest building in China. Nonetheless, the plan was cancelled due to the fear of the skyscraper obstructing flight paths.

Other Information

 * 1) Although the building is considered a mega-tall skyscraper, its height actually does not qualify it to be one. This is because its peak height is 599.1 m (1965.6 ft) and to qualify as a mega-tall structure, the building must be at least 600 m (1968.5 ft).
 * 2) The building is located within the Central Business District of Shenzhen in Futian.
 * 3) The tower has been climbed by at least 9 people.
