According to the Beike Research Institute, which issued the report, the domestic definition of a super high-rise is a building taller than 100 meters. The institute selected residential buildings with more than 30 floors as samples. The general distance between floors in China is 3.3 meters.

In addition to the number of high-rise buildings, unique mountain land forms also add charisma to the "skyscraper municipality".
