平安金融中心
At 599 meters, Shenzhen's tallest building. The 116th-floor Free Sky observation deck offers 360-degree views of Futian CBD, Shenzhen Bay and Hong Kong, making it the city's best lookout.
Ping An Finance Center stands on Yitian Road in Futian District, rising 599 meters. When completed in 2017, it was Shenzhen's tallest building and China's second tallest. It was designed by KPF, and its tapered tower is clad in stainless steel and glass. Highlights: the 116th-floor “Free Sky” observation deck, 541 meters above ground, is Shenzhen's highest observation deck. From here, you can take in 360-degree views of Futian CBD, Civic Center, Lotus Hill and Shenzhen Bay, all the way to Hong Kong's New Territories. The deck features a transparent glass-floor viewing area, a high-altitude mailbox, AR interactive displays and a café. On clear days, you can capture a top-down view of the Civic Center's nighttime light show. Elevators climb at 10 meters per second and reach the top in 55 seconds. Tickets: adults about 200 yuan, students and children about 100 yuan. Buy through the official mini-program or travel platforms. Evening sessions after 18:00 cost slightly more but include night views. Book a time slot in advance on holidays. Plan to go up about an hour before sunset to see daytime, sunset and nighttime views in one visit. The light show usually runs at 19:30 and 20:30 on Friday and Saturday nights. Getting there: take Metro Line 1 or 4 to Convention and Exhibition Center Station, or Line 3 or 1 to Shopping Park Station. From Coco Park, it is a 5-minute walk through the underground passage. Note: the observation deck closes temporarily in severe weather. Security checks are strict, and tripods are not allowed. The PAFC Mall downstairs has shopping and dining.
