Interesting Facts About China

Sprawling Skyscrapers

In 2018, China built more skyscraper than any other country in the world, at any point in history! This comes as part of the massive economic and industrial growth that the country has undergone in recent years. While that year saw a total of 143 new skyscrapers exceeding 200 meters being built, China accounted for 61,5% of these buildings!

The Shanghai Tower, which was completed in 2014, is currently the second tallest building in the world, with 128 floors above ground as well as five below. Of course, China did not stop their skyscraper production there, as a new skyscraper is built somewhere in the country every five days. This has led to China getting at least 73 new skyscrapers every year!
