Don’t do this on a national holiday. It was hot, crowded, stuffy and extremely over stimulating. The oreintal pearl is a better experience or even the book shop on a lower floor. Lots of ways to see the Shanghai skyline without going to the very top.

The significance of visiting this observation deck atop Shanghai is simply that it's the best viewing platform in Shanghai. It's best to come on a clear, sunny day to enjoy a panoramic view of the city's skyline. The revamped Damper Light Show was somewhat lackluster, perhaps because I've seen it so many times that it's become predictable. A male attendant at the ticket gate was very unfriendly, with a lazy look in his eyes and inattentive replies. Since I was with foreign friends, I didn't bother arguing with him. (Because it was close to the show's start time, I asked if I could bring coffee upstairs, and his reply was a casual "no." Later, I asked his female colleague, who smiled and said "yes," and I even specifically asked the barista if I could bring the coffee to the observation deck, receiving a positive answer). The service attitude and enthusiasm of the staff at the counter are truly important; you're not just representing yourself, but Shanghai…
The Shanghai Tower is a landmark building with significant influence. Its exterior features a streamlined, spiraling design, and its 120-degree rotating curtain wall reduces wind load by 24%, while also possessing a unique artistic aesthetic. The tour of the tower is divided into two parts. From basement level two, take the world's fastest elevator to the 118th-floor "Top of Shanghai" observation deck, reaching a height of 546 meters, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of Shanghai. The 119th floor houses a restaurant offering lunch and dinner set menus as well as afternoon tea. On the 125th floor is the 1000-ton "Shanghai Eye" damper, which uses active mass damping technology to reduce swaying caused by strong winds or earthquakes.
🌆Shanghai is like a magic treasure box, which brings endless surprises and touches every time it is opened.

As the elevator soared, my heart was as excited as a deer. When I stepped out of the elevator, I was stunned.

The Oriental Pearl Tower, Jinmao Tower, and Shanghai World Financial Center in the distance are like a group of giants wearing golden armor, shining brightly under the sun, playing hide-and-seek with the blue sky and white clouds. The Huangpu River is like a glittering winding ribbon, shuttling through the embrace of the city. The boats on the river come and go, busy as a group of hardworking little ants. In the near distance, the skyscrapers are like neatly arranged soldiers, one next to the other. They are the best spokespersons for Shanghai's modernization and vitality. 💪 🤳Here, taking photos is a must!

The tallest building in China, it is worth visiting. It is over 600 meters. It took less than a minute to get up there, which is faster than taking a plane. The child felt a little dizzy when he got up there. It was a wonderful experience. The whole time we just kept saying (⊙o⊙) wow, (⊙o⊙) wow, it was so shocking!
**The top of Shanghai, the new height of the city! **Standing in Lujiazui, overlooking both sides of the Pujiang River, the beautiful scenery has a panoramic view. The high-speed elevator instantly reaches the sightseeing floor and feels the wonder of walking in the clouds. The transparent observation deck challenges courage, and the panoramic view shocks the soul. The internal exhibition is rich and interprets the development process of Shanghai. The environment is clean and the service is thoughtful. It is a great place to appreciate the charm of Shanghai. It is worth a visit!
The Shanghai Tower is located on the 118th floor of the Shanghai Tower. You need to check in from the B1 floor and take the high-speed elevator directly to the 118th floor, which takes 55 seconds. The Shanghai Tower is the second tallest building in the world and the tallest building in China. The 118th floor is worthy of being the top of Shanghai. You can enjoy the whole view of Shanghai through the large glass windows of the observation hall.
One-day schedule of Shanghai Tower: 37th floor: Guanfu Museum 37th floor and 38th floor: Baoku Cultural Center and Baoku Artisan Museum 52nd floor: Duoyun Academy 118th floor: Shanghai Summit Observation Deck (glass is a bit dirty) After watching the night view of Shanghai Summit, your blood tank should be almost empty. Walk out of Shanghai Tower and take a few more photos of artifacts and pearls on the pedestrian bridge. If it is half or full, there will be a five-minute performance at the clock in front of the Disney store. There are many restaurants in the nearby Zhengda Plaza where you can fill your stomach 😌.
