Soaring gracefully over the Luohu district, KK100 is a true Shenzhen icon you won't want to miss. Head straight to the top floors to the St. Regis hotel for a drink with a view; the panoramic sweep of the city, with Hong Kong's green hills in the distance, is simply breathtaking, especially as the sun sets. While there's an observation deck, many locals prefer to settle into the sky-high bar or one of the restaurants to really soak in the glittering skyline from one of the city's most prestigious addresses.

KK100, also known as Kingkey 100, is a prominent skyscraper in Luohu District offering a vantage point and panoramic views of the city. The 96th floor observation deck offers breathtaking views of Shenzhen's skyline — especially ideal for a brief night tour. It's like having a front-row seat to the city's amazing skyline with its vast landscape and busy streets.

At 441 metres it dominates the Luohu skyline. The observation deck sits above the cloud line on humid days and gives you a completely different perspective from the ground level chaos of Dongmen and the border area below. Best visited in the evening when the city lights up.

How to get there: Metro Lines 1 and 2 — Grand Theatre Station 大剧院站 — 3 minute walk
Address: 5016 Shennan East Road, Luohu District
Hours: Daily 10am to 10pm

Mandarin phrase tip:
Wǒ xiǎng kàn yèjǐng 我想看夜景 — I want to see the night view. Say this and anyone will point you toward the observation deck entrance.
