Beijing’s unfinished skyscrapers become a magnet for daredevils
Thrill-seeking youngsters share photos of themselves on top of half-built towers and offer tips on how best to get to the top
Two half-finished buildings in downtown Beijing have become hotspots for thrill-seekers who enjoy posing for photos of themselves on top of them.
The buildings are part of the Guoson Centre, located in the business hub of Dongzhimen, and have been under construction since 2000.
They are now splattered with graffiti left by the so-called urban climbers, Beijing Youth Daily reported on Sunday.
Since 2014, the adventurers have been evading security to make their ascent inside the two buildings and snap breathtaking photos from the top.
The buildings have become so popular within the community that climbers have been sharing detailed instructions online to help their peers circumvent fences and overcome “difficult points”, the report said.
