Mankind always dreams to build something megalithic if we follow the history of this planet. Starting from the Great Pyramid of Giza built by the pharaohs, to the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was built by the Ptolemaic Kingdom, ancient architectures throughout the world are found to support the evidence of the efforts to construct something challenging. In the modern world where science and technology dominate everything, a culture of constructing humongous architecture again boomed during the late 90s. It is not only the race to build megastructures, but also a fascinating journey to the greenest buildings mankind has ever seen. UAE, China, India, Malaysia and many different countries of Asia are all in this race. So, here is the list of Top 10 Tallest Buildings in Asia.
如果我们关注这个星球的历史，人类总是梦想着建造一些巨石。从法老建造的吉萨大金字塔，到亚历山大灯塔，由托勒密王朝建造，世界各地的古代建筑都被发现支持建造具有挑战的建筑的证据。在科学技术主导一切的现代世界里，一种建造巨型建筑的文化在90年代后期再次蓬勃发展。这不仅是建造大型建筑的竞赛，也是人类有史以来最绿色建筑的迷人之旅。阿联酋、中国、印度、马来西亚和许多亚洲国家都参加了这次比赛。下面是亚洲十大最高建筑的榜单。
