The Viewing Deck

Elevated above Shenzhen’s vibrant cityscape, The Viewing Deck on the 69th floor of Shun Hing Square offers a breathtaking panorama. Known locally as the Diwang Building, meaning “Land King,” Shun Hing Square holds a story as impressive as the view from The Viewing Deck. Built during Shenzhen’s explosive growth in the 1990s, the Diwang Building embodies “Shenzhen speed.” Constructed at an astonishing pace, sometimes four floors every nine days, it was completed in just 40 months. For a time, it held the title of China’s tallest building, a testament to the era’s rapid development. From The Viewing Deck, you can trace the city’s expansion. Imagine looking out at the evolving skyline in 1996, when the Diwang Building claimed its title, compared to the sprawling metropolis you see today. The Viewing Deck itself is more than just a vantage point. It’s a window into Shenzhen’s past and present. Two syringe-like spires crown the building, illuminated each night in a dazzling display. These distinctive features were another element setting the Diwang Building apart. Until the nearby KK100 surpassed it, the Diwang Building was a beacon in Shenzhen’s skyline. While enjoying the expansive view from The Viewing Deck, consider the building’s unique history. In 2015, it became the stage for a daring feat. Russian-Ukrainian adventurers scaled the very top of its spires, capturing the heart-stopping climb on video. The footage, available online, offers a thrilling perspective on this iconic structure, seen from a truly unique angle.
