The world’s second tallest building was capped this week in Tianjin, north eastern China.

China 117 Tower, also known as Goldin Finance 117, has been capped at 1,957 feet high on September 8, reported People’s Daily Online.

It is currently the tallest building in China and is dwarfed only by the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The building was first proposed in 2008. Building work began back in 2009 and is due to be completed in 2016.

Its final structure has been described by some as a ‘walking stick’ with a diamond shaped viewing platform at the top.
