Kingkey 100 of Shenzhen
- At 441.8m high, Kingkey100 is the new tallest building in Shenzhen. It is located just west of Shin Hing Square, the 2nd tallest building in Shenzhen. Its gradual tapering top, like an elongated pagoda, is very eye pleasing . Here's a photo as of April 23, 2011: http://news.xinhuanet.com/photo/2011-04/23/c_121340044.htm

The Willis Tower
- At 1,450 and 1,750 ft tall, the Willis Tower in Chicago , IL. It is a tall black building with nine squares. I love this building. It's a great skyscraper of the World. I have been to the sky deck before, but now I guess you can go out on a glass platform that sticks out about 4-5 ft. That's awesome!
