the world.
One of the most stunning structures in the world is Shanghai Tower, the second-tallest skyscraper in the
world and property of the Shanghai Municipal Government. It was designed by the multinational firm
Gensler.

biggest clock face in the whole world.
Interesting fact: Abraj Al-Bait, the third-tallest structure in the world, is located on ground that was
