The Window of the World (Chinese: 世界之窗; pinyin: Shìjiè zhī Chuāng; Jyutping: sai3 gaai3 zi1 coeng1) is a theme park located in the western part of the city of Shenzhen in the People's Republic of China. It has about 130 reproductions of some of the most famous tourist attractions in the world squeezed into 48 hectares (118 acres). The 108 metre (354 ft) tall Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline and the sight of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal all in proximity to each other are all part of the appeal of this theme park.

List of tallest buildings in Shenzhen
List of tallest buildings in Shenzhen

Shenzhen, a major city and Special Economic Zone in Guangdong, China, is home to over 443 completed skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft), of which 184 are taller than 200 m (656 ft), making it the largest concentration of skyscrapers above 200 m in the world. The tallest building in Shenzhen is the Ping An Finance Centre, which rises 599 m (1,965 ft). The 115-story skyscraper also stands as the second-tallest building in China and the fifth-tallest building in the world. At 442 m (1,450 ft), the KK100 is the second-tallest completed building in the city. Shenzhen's high-rise building boom shows no signs of slowing down, with numerous proposals for skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft). Skyscraper construction started in Shenzhen in 1978, at a time when the tallest building in the city was five stories tall. In the next decade, 300 high-rises were erected in the city, including the Guomao Building. It was the city's first skyscraper and was the tallest building in mainland China upon its opening in 1985. As Shenzhen's highrise construction boom progressed into the 1990s, the skyscrapers erected in the city became taller. In the decade spanning from 1996 to 2006, 18 buildings taller than 200 m (656 ft) were completed. The tallest of these is the Diwang Building (Shun Hing Square), the city's first building to exceed 300 m (984 ft) in height. Most of Shenzhen's skyscrapers are concentrated in the Luohu, Futian and Nanshan districts. Shenzhen's skyscraper boom is attributed to its status as one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.
