Shun Hing Square, Skyscraper in Luohu District, Shenzhen, China
Shun Hing Square is a 384-metre tower on Shennan East Road in Guiyuan Subdistrict, Luohu District, Shenzhen. Its dark green glass shaft rises from a wider podium with rows of windows, and a narrow lighter strip runs up the centre of the facade. The 69th floor holds the Meridian View Center observation deck, opened in 1998.
Construction ran from 1993 to 1996, and on completion the tower was China's tallest, holding the title until CITIC Plaza in Guangzhou passed it in 1997. Hong Kong's Shun Hing Group bought the serviced apartments and naming rights before completion, which gave the building its name. In February 2018 Shenzhen listed it as a historic building, and in August 2025 Luohu district registered it as an ungraded immovable cultural relic.
The nickname Diwang Dasha comes from the land auction: the plot drew Shenzhen's highest land price at the time, so the public called the tower "Land King." In February 2018 the Shenzhen government listed it as a historic building of the reform-and-opening era, and in August 2025 Luohu district registered it as an ungraded immovable cultural relic.
The tower stands on Shennan East Road in Guiyuan Subdistrict, Luohu District, with the Dayitang metro station (Lines 1, 2 and 5) at exits C and D. The 69th-floor observation deck opened in 1998; it is slated to revert to office use, with the Kingkey 100 deck taking its place. The podium holds a five-story shopping arcade served by four sets of escalators and five passenger lifts.
The building holds the record as China's tallest all-steel structure with the unusual distinction of being the world's tallest building with fewer than 70 floors. This combination of height and construction method made it a turning point in Chinese skyscraper engineering.
