| Popis: | Southern China is experienced interesting political times. The new openess, freedoms and market reforms in the region have led to a phenomenal construction boom. With the world's attention focused on Hong Kong as the British finally sail away, China is looking in another direction - upwards. At least three new skyscrapers are currently making their mark on the most important cities of southern China. Shun Hing Square in Shenzen, at 325 m, it the largest of the three, ranking 13th tallest in the world. Sky Central Plaza in Guanzhou is only slightly smaller at 322 m and is the 14th tallest amont the world's skysrapers today. The Centre, in Hong Kong, also dominates the skyline. At 292 m, it ranks 25th in the world. |
