Chongqing is a megacity in southwestern China, with an urban population of over 22 million. One of China's four directly administered municipalities, it is considered a major political, economic, industrial, financial and cultural centre in the interior of China, along with Chengdu. Chongqing has one of the largest skylines in the world, with 149 skyscrapers taller than 150 meters (492 feet) as of 2025. 61 of its skyscrapers are taller than 200 m (656 ft), five of which are supertall skyscrapers taller than 300 m (984 ft).
The city's skyline is known for its height, hilly and narrow terrain, and the lighting of its buildings at night. It has been compared to Pittsburgh due to the arrangement of its skyscrapers, the tallest of which are located in the district of Yuzhong, effectively a peninsula located at the confluence of the Jialing and Yangtze Rivers. Tall buildings often have multiple "ground-level" access points on different floors, and many buildings are connected via raised walkways and skybridges.
The first skyscrapers in Chongqing appeared in the late 1990s, with their construction becoming more frequent during the 2000s. The rate of construction increased significantly during the 2010s; since the 2020s, it has slowed down slightly. The title of the tallest building in Chongqing is held by the International Land-Sea Center, which rises to 458.2 m (1,503 ft) and completed in 2026. It is also the tallest building in Western China.
