update: done a bit of research now. 2 inter­est­ing things: appar­ently the FIRE was set off by fire­works that are set off for hours on yuanx­iao jie, the last day of spring fes­ti­val.
It is also reported that “huge chunks are falling off”

The flames are bigger than any I’ve ever seen on a build­ing:

the second thing is that it was first reported by eye wit­nesses on twit­ter, send­ing text mes­sages and mobile phone images. via: build​ing.​co.uk
