A hundred skyscrapers UC on any given moment.

No! It’s on hold! But hold your horses, first let me introduce you
to this quite unknown skyscraper jewel:

Xiamen, China.

With over a hundred skyscrapers UC on any given moment but less then
two million inhabitants Xiamen have to be one of Chinas most active
cities in terms of skyscraper building.
Xiamen is also one of Chinas most popular tourist destinations and
one of the four economic “freetowns” set up by te chinese
government. Not like the red light district perhaps but good enough
for me -until now, cause Xiamen’s proposed new tallest is put on hold,
no! Designed by SOM it would(will?) climb 364 meters (1195 feets) and
serve as post and telecommunications building. Well shit happens, and
until further information is given let us grief together over this picture:

It would have been something…
