		At this point the Hotel begins and each segment reduces one-eighth of the 8-level segment until it reaches the 88th level._ Eights also appear in Jin Mao's advanced structural engineering system which fortifies the building against the typhoon winds and earthquakes typical of the region.

	Spotlight from Top of Jin Mao
		Recently, a laser light was installed exactly on top of the Jin Mao Tower - the tallest building in China, and the third tallest in the world.
		The first is the histoical building groups at the Bund, the second is Pudong and the third is the small boat.
