Our tour guide took us to the 100th floor observation tower. There are also offices and a hotel in the building. Amazing views of the Shanghai skyline.

As an architect who grew up admiring many of the world's tallest towers, getting to see this amazing tower in person was a dream come true. Save your money for the Shanghai tower viewing deck. If you want to go visit the SWFC, there are bars inside on really high levels. I would really recommend that. I had a few beers with a colleague up there and it was incredible.

We have been to many observatories and this has been one of our favorite. Sheer glass and modernity from the futuristic elevator to the all glass deck that you can see below and beyond. Best to visit at dusk and stop by the cafe until evening to catch two views for the price of one.
-
Great views and an amazing glass walkway where you can see below you. If you are nervous about heights the glass may scare you but this is an amazing experience and was not busy when we went in June.

I traveled to China for work and I have wonderful memories, friendly and helpful people. The food is particular for the European taste but I liked it ... if you go don't miss the DUMPLING ... I always go back willingly.

A beautiful place to place in shanghai to see the city from above. We chose to go during the evening because we wanted to see the lights. During the day I could be nice as well. Tickets can be purchased online which I highly recommend.
