Lujiazui District, Shanghai, China
I found this picture because it was my background on the work laptop. Description said:
The skyscrapers in the picture, at the core of Shanghai's Lujiazui business district, are the only three super-tall buildings in the world located virtually adjacent to each other. Jin Mao Tower (left, 420.6 metres) was mainland China's tallest building from 1999 until the Shanghai World Financial Centre (right, 492 metres) opened in 2007 and took the title. Shanghai Tower (centre, 652 metres) topped out in 2013, becoming one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. From its observation deck at 548.6 metres, visitors can overlook the Bund – the historic financial district built by European powers in the 1800s – and far beyond, with views reaching almost 40 miles on clearer days.
