China Merchants Bank Tower, Commercial skyscraper in Futian District, Shenzhen, China.
China Merchants Bank Tower, also called Shenzhen World Trade Centre, is a 53-story skyscraper at the intersection of Nongyuan Road and Shennan Boulevard in Futian District, Shenzhen. Designed by New York firm Lee / Timchula, it is divided into a 5-story podium of clear glass and two tones of gray granite, a tapering tower shaft, and a crown. The podium holds a full-height atrium and a grand banking hall, with a sky garden and the Bankers Club in the crown above.
The tower was completed in the early 2000s when Shenzhen was transforming into a modern financial hub from its earlier role as a fishing village. This construction followed the region's rapid economic growth period.
The tower's name comes from China Merchants Bank, whose global headquarters it housed from 2001. Its crown holds the Bankers Club, where refreshments are served in a sky garden above the tower shaft. In July 2026 the head office moved to the China Merchants Global Financial Center, and the former banking department on site became the Xiangmihu sub-branch.
The tower stands at 7088 Shennan Boulevard, at the corner of Nongyuan Road, and is reached by Chegongmiao Station on the Shenzhen Metro. The podium holds the full-height atrium and the banking hall; the Bankers Club with its sky garden sits in the crown above the tapering shaft. The building has three basement levels.
The tower's crown holds a sky garden where the Bankers Club serves refreshments, sitting above the tapering shaft. The podium is a five-story rectangular volume of clear glass and two tones of gray granite in flush planes, containing a full-height atrium and a grand banking hall.
