Terraced buildings with landscape features that have been dubbed the "Hanging Gardens of Babylon" by locals take shape at a multi-use complex under construction along Suzhou Creek in Putuo District, Shanghai, Aug. 31, 2018. Thomas Heatherwick, the British architect who designed the project, was actually inspired by China’s scenic Huashan. The complex has been dubbed “1,000 Trees” because, when finished, there will be that number of pillars rising into the sky, topped by greenery. (Photo/IC)
