Photo taken on Sept 8, 2015 shows the Tianjin 117 Tower which was capped Tuesday morning in Binhai New Area of north China's Tianjin Municipality. With the main structure reaching 596.5 meters, it has become the second-tallest building in the world, only next to Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Construction on the tower, which has a floor area of 847,000 sq m, was launched seven years ago. It is estimated to be put into use by the end of 2016. [CFP]
