The Ping An International Finance Center (also known as the Ping An IFC) (Chinese: 平安国际金融中心) is a 115-story, 599 m (1,965 ft) supertall skyscraper in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.[6]

It was completed in 2017. It is the tallest building in Shenzhen, the 2nd tallest building in China and the 4th tallest building in the world.[7]

It also broke the record of having the highest observation deck in a building at 562.1 m (1,844 ft).[8] The original project included the construction of a 61 m spire, which would have brought the overall height to 661 metres.
