List of tallest buildings in China

The tallest buildings in China in 2014 (heights labeled in meters)

China has the largest number of tall buildings in the world, surpassing that of the second and third largest, the United States (800+) and Japan (250+), combined.^[1][2] As of early 2017, China has more than 1400 skyscrapers above 150 meters (492 ft) of which 48 are "supertall" (300 meters (984 ft) and above).^[2][3] The tallest tower in China is currently the Shanghai Tower, located in the namesake city at a height of 632 meters (2,073 ft); it is the second-tallest building in the world. The previous 2 tallest buildings in mainland China have also been in Shanghai.

The Chinese economic reform from 1978 onwards lead to a significant improvement in quality of living and economic capital^{[citation needed]}. 32 of the 64 buildings (completed and architecturally topped out) with a minimum height of 350 meters (1,150 ft) worldwide are in China (including Hong Kong).

This is a list which ranks Chinese cities that have at least 10 completed skyscrapers as of January 2021 that are taller than 150 m (492 ft)^[4]
