Raffles City Chongqing, China consists of eight
skyscrapers at the tip of the peninsula where the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers
meet.
The Crystal is
an enclosed 984-foot long horizontal skyway that sits atop four of the six
southern towers. Each of the four towers rises to a height of 820 feet. The
Crystal itself is 106-feet wide and 87-feet high. Within the Crystal, there
will be two swimming pools, restaurants, a gallery, gardens with trees and a
viewing site.
The Crystal will set a
record for being the highest in the world linking the highest number of
towers. *
*There are references on the internet to the Crystal
being the highest skybridge in the world. While the Crystal can be correctly
identified as a skybridge, it is not the highest skybridge in the world. That
record is held by the Skybridge that is atop the Kingdom Centre in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom Centre skybridge is at a height of 984 feet.
