上海中心大厦 Shanghai Tower 🌀🌁 Take Metro Line 2 & alight at Lujiazui Station (Exit 6). Walk towards the observation entrance — the Ticket Office is on the left.

As we were visiting China, we went on a very short visit to Shanghai. One of the experiences not to be missed there was visiting the Shanghai tower, 3rd tallest building in the world. The elevator in the tower is one of the fastest in the world, it reaches a speed of 18 meters per second. Going up the tower needs around 55 seconds. The view from above is simply magical. I loved the experience. It...

Visiting the Shanghai Tower was an unforgettable experience! The elevator ride to the top is super fast and smooth, and the view from the 118th floor is just breathtaking. You can see the whole city — the river, skyline, and the Bund all in one glance. Everything is well-organized and modern, and watching the sunset from up there was simply magical. Definitely worth a visit! 🌆

When you step out, you’re greeted with breathtaking 360-degree views of Shanghai — from the twisting Huangpu River to the futuristic skyline of Pudong and the historic Bund across the water. ...

The Shanghai Tower is the city’s ultimate “look at me” skyscraper, twisting skyward like a giant metallic noodle in a futuristic ramen bowl. At 632 meters, it’s China’s tallest building and a global giant, though just shy of Malaysia’s Merdeka 118, proving even Shanghai has a rival to keep it humble. Step inside and the lobby feels like a luxury spaceship. Elevators zip you up at breakneck speeds...
