The visuals are awesome. The elevator is exclusive for tours, and there is a crazy light show in there. The whole experience was very nice, and from the top you can see the old part of the city, and understand a little better how this huge metropolis is growing.

Seeing all of Shanghai from over 100 floors up is pretty exciting, and it feels really safe. The floor is thick marble and concrete, though there are glass parts where you can look at the street directly below the Center. The high-speed elevator has some interesting lighting effects that make it feel like you're going up or down visually, and... More

We had a great experience on the top most fl;oor, however the glass bottom panels as floorings are very narrow and therefore reduces the pleasure of standing and statring at a cabbie metres below! We decieded to drink a bottle of beer on the SKY 99 but were rudly asked vacate "their section" if other members of the group were... More

Yes, the view from the 100th floor is spectacular if it is a clear day. If you have a fear of heights, don't worry, while the crosswalk is glass, they have "safe" zones where you can't see down. There is a small restaurant/bar on the 94th floor that has reasonable drink prices (by Shanghai tourist venue standards). While the city... More

We went here instead of the Jin Mao Tower just because it ws taller. Sure it costs 150 Rmb but one does not go up every day. My tip is to go to the bar on the last floor of the tour (94 floor) get a drink, sit on the sofas by the windows and watch the lights come on... More

You can get a free ticket to the 94th floor when you buy Big Bus Tour, worth to this as you have to pay 120Y otherwise, and one day Big Bus tour cost 200Y or if you buy a map of Shanghai (5Y) at Hongqiao information center you will pay only 180Y. There is additional fee 50Y if you want... More

This tower gives great views over Shanghai and also of the other towers nearby. It has a glass floor and all glass walls. Definitely a must do when in Shanghai.

The tallest building in Shanghai (though not for much longer), and apparently the world's highest observation deck. Not cheap for China, but offers a clear view of Shanghai on the rare occasion the sky is clear, and has a few nice features. Good cafe where one can relax and appreciate the view.

I opted for this view over the Pearl Tower because of the overall vista that the "Bottle Opener" would provide. I was also impressed by their willingness to poke fun at the building and finally make my dream of a Bottle opener building souvenir that opened bottles. Although I passed on the $50 version... A large selection of restaurants await... More
