Shenyang's Architecture
View Original Description
Shenyang, China has a interesting set of oddball architecture. Critics Call Buildings Like Pearl of the North Tower a Symptom of China’s ‘Edifice Complex’.
The Ring of Life is a 515-foot (approximately 157 meters) landmark built in the city of Fushun, China (next to Shenyang). The landmark is built with an observation deck accessible by elevator, as well as 12,000 LED lights. Having abandoned local entertainment projects due to the small local population, urban planners settled on building a sightseeing landmark instead in order to attract a tourist industry to the region.
The Pearl of the North is a supertall skyscraper under construction in Shenyang, Liaoning, China. It will be 565 metres (1,853.7 ft) tall. Construction started in 2014 and is expected to be completed in 2018. It will, briefly, be the seventh-largest in the world, dwarfing One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the U.S.
