Once Shenzhen's tallest skyscraper, Di Wang Building is more than just an architectural feat—it’s a symbol of the city’s rapid growth. Take a 50-second ride to the 68th-floor observation deck, where you'll be treated to panoramic views: Shenzhen’s ever-expanding skyline on one side and a glimpse of Hong Kong on the other. Once holding the world record for construction speed (an impressive 2.5 days per floor), this building is a testament to the city’s ambition. Although newer skyscrapers now tower over it, Di Wang remains a must-visit for those wanting a bird's-eye view of Shenzhen's dynamic urban landscape, especially when the sun sets and the skyline lights up.
