Unfortunately, not having data available about buildings is the case with a lot of skyscrapers in China.
Skyscrapers may be booming in this large country, but most of the data and numbers don't make it to
the Western world. It may even be possible that there are some skyscrapers in China that the skyscraper fan
hasn't even heard of, let alone has seen a picture of. And if it weren't for China skyscraper explorers like Huopa
from Finland, Jonathan Smith from England and Thomas Jaehndel (all editors of EMPORIS.COM),
the world would know even less about the many skyscrapers in China.
Above right: another building without a name or height that is known. The building has 34 stories,
and was under construction when the picture was taken (May 2001).
