China's Tallest Skyscraper

It seems there is no limit for the height of skyscrapers these days.
摩登大楼再创新高！

China's tallest skyscraper(最高的楼), the Shanghai Tower, is expected to be open(开业) for business soon.

The 632-metre tall tower is second(第二) only to(仅次于) Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.

A high-speed elevator has been installed to take visitors to a viewing platform(观光平台) on the 119th floor in just 55 seconds.

At its maximum speed(最快的速度), the lift would travel at 18 meters a second.

The 126-storey building will become a new landmark(地标) in Lujiazui, the financial and trade zone in Shanghai.
