Great for getting photos of the river and the city (if the smog clears enough). It was amazing to walk on the glass floor and look down 100 floors! This is the highest observation tower in the world. More

The Park Hyatt is extraordinarily expensive for drinks/food as an alternative to the viewing deck. However, it is an extraordinary Hotel. The location of the building is poor if you need to be in Puxi (aka 'New Jersey'). The design of the building is shamefully generic (am I in Frankfurt?). More

It is interesting to go to the Observation Deck, but I did not find the view to be all that incredible and the glass floor was a let-down.

Shanghai World Financial Center is top of the city. If you don’t scare of height then you must go to the top observation desk at 100 floors. The glass bottom flooring takes your breath away and an un-usual urban view appearing under your foot. Also the 360-degree panorama view of Shanghai city, it’s amazing! More

I have visited the financial center in Shanghai during my stay. The admission is for RMB 150 which is quite alot, however, if you intend to go, its better during the day, I went late at night and it was diffiicult to see anything from the reflections of the light and most of the shops and cafes was closed, so...
