The list of the tallest buildings and structures in China encompasses a compilation of remarkable structures throughout the mainland and the special administrative region of Macau. These structures are distinguished by their towering heights, measuring at least 250 meters (820 feet) or more. However, it's essential to note that Hong Kong boasts its own distinct list of tall buildings and is not included in this compilation.

Mainland China's Skyscrapers

Mainland China has witnessed a phenomenal surge in skyscraper construction over the past few decades, reflecting its rapid economic growth and urbanization. Cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou have become iconic skylines adorned with awe-inspiring skyscrapers. These tall buildings serve a multitude of purposes, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use facilities. The architectural innovation and engineering prowess exhibited in these structures are indicative of China's ambitions and modernization.^[1]

Structures Beyond Buildings

The list doesn't only include conventional buildings but also features other structures such as observation towers, transmission masts, and various types of functional towers that exceed the 250-meter height threshold.^[2] These structures have specific purposes, such as telecommunications, broadcasting, and tourism, and they contribute to the diverse architectural landscape in China.

Macau's Inclusion

The list is inclusive of buildings located in Macau, the special administrative region known for its vibrant entertainment and tourism industry.^[3] These structures not only contribute to Macau's skyline but also symbolize its ongoing development and growth as a global tourist destination.

Hong Kong's Exclusion

Notably, Hong Kong, another special administrative region of China, maintains its own separate list of tall buildings and structures. This is because Hong Kong has a unique history and governance structure, with a distinct urban environment and property market that differs from mainland China.
