Shun Hing Square (Chinese: 信兴广场), also known as "Di Wang Tower" (地王大厦) is a 384-meter (1,260 ft)-tall skyscraper in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, China. Upon its completion in 1996, it became the tallest building in China, until being surpassed by CITIC Plaza in the next year.

Background

The building was built at a pace of four floors in nine days. The main tower contains office space, a car park and a 5-story shopping arcade complex with four sets of escalators, five passenger lifts and two service lifts, and a floor area ranging from 3450 m to 4900 m. On the top floor (69th floor) is the "Meridian View Center," an observation deck. Its common nickname, "Diwang Building" derives from the auction price for the piece of land it stands being the most expensive in Shenzhen at the time. 24,500 tonnes of steel were used in construction.

As of April 2023, the building is

• The fifth tallest in Shenzhen

• Tallest building constructed in Shenzhen in the 1990s.
