'''Shun Hing Square''' ({{zh|c=信兴广场}}), also known as "Di Wang Tower"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://structurae.net/structures/shun-hing-square|title=Shun Hing Square (Shenzhen, 1996) - Structurae}}</ref> ({{zh|c=地王大厦|labels=no}}) is a {{convert|384|m|ft|adj=mid|sp=us}}-tall [[skyscraper]] in [[Shenzhen]], [[Guangdong]] province, [[China]]. Upon its completion in 1996, it became [[List of tallest buildings in China|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 elevators and two service elevators, and a floor area ranging from 3450&nbsp;m<sup>2</sup> to 4900&nbsp;m<sup>2</sup>. On the top floor (69th floor) is the "Meridian View Center," an observation deck.<ref name="Shun Hing Square"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=121577|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040415093547/http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=121577|url-status=usurped|archive-date=15 April 2004|title=Shun Hing Square|access-date=2008-07-08|publisher=Emporis.com}}</ref>
