A large Rieger organ installed in the Concert Hall of the Cultural Center in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (SEZ), just over the border from Hong Kong, in 2007 (main pic from builder’s website). Among other interesting features is the bianzhong (stone chime) stop on the Bombarde manual.

The builder’s website now describes this as an 87-stop organ. When the organ was installed the figure given was 85. Either way, this is one of the largest organs in Mainland China.
