Over the weekend, fearless urban explorer Vitaly Raskalov uploaded these vertigo-inducing images from the top of Shun Hing Square, the second-tallest building in Shenzhen and ninth-tallest in the country.
Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov, the Russo-Ukrainian duo behind On the Roofs, are of course no strangers to death-defying climbs, having previously conquered the Shanghai Tower and various other skyscrapers in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
When we spoke to Vitaly last year, he told us Chinese authorities had liaised with the Russian embassy to ban them both from entering the country for 20 years, but that as a Ukrainian citizen it probably wouldn't effect him. By the looks of it, he wasn't mistaken.
Constructed in 1996, Shun Hing Square (also known as Diwang Building) was the tallest building in China when it was first built as well as the first mainland building to rank amongst the ten tallest in the world. Since then, however, it's been pushed back to the 17th-tallest on Earth.
