[Danil_J4F_ForumAcc]

Did you something know about Daxin Building in Chongqing? (link below)

https://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=9460

This is a cancelled project of 195-meter tall, 45-storied skyscraper in Chongqing, China. It was scheduled for completion in 2000. Screenshot with more data about this building is below:



However, some websites (like CTBUH), specify, that building actually "exist":



Or even more absurd, the Wikipedia article about Chongqing's tallest buildings says, that Daxin Building was the the tallest Chongqing's building during 2000-2004:

Until 2024, SkyscraperPage also specified Daxin Building's status as "built". Later it was changed to "cancelled".

I am a real Chinese, and I can tell you responsibly that there is no Daxin Building (like Heze drew it) in Chongqing. In addition, the data on CQ on CTBUH is very inaccurate, if you want to know more, please register for the gaoloumi.cc forum account
