A little more perspective

The Skyscraper Center gives 601 meters for both architectural height and highest tip. This record measures the central clock tower, including its base and finial, rather than treating the surrounding hotel complex as a single measured width.

Its tip is 1.9 meters higher than the 599.1-meter Ping An Finance Center reference. Their very different crowns make that small numerical gap difficult to judge without a shared scale.
