Things to do in Shanghai Region, Shanghai Region: The Best Observation Decks & Towers
Shanghai is the cool, confident face of modern China, and its energy is infectious. Go to the Bund to watch ships on the river and marvel at the huge variety of architectural styles on display, or watch the crowds go by in People’s Square. Shoppers should make a beeline for the Fabric Market, where you can have a suit or dress tailor-made for you at bargain prices. At night, explore all manner of fashionable restaurants, bars and nightclubs, or just stroll through the city enjoying the spectacular neon lights.

When it opened in 1998 Jin Mao Tower used to dominate the Pudong skyline together with the Oriental Pearl Tower. These days it is overshadowed by the significantly taller Shanghai Tower and Shanghai World Financial Center. However, this should not deter you from visiting it. This stunning architectural masterpiece remains my second favorite observation deck in the city behind the one located at the top of Shanghai Tower. Unlike the neighbouring SWFC you can enjoy 360 degree views from the top and unlike the Oriental Pearl Tower there are usually no long queues to get in. The admission price is also more reasonable than at the other observation decks and in addition you get a dizzying view down the world’s tallest lobby.

Speed to the top of the world’s third tallest TV and radio tower for a spectacular view, or just gaze at this beautiful structure from afar, especially striking when lit up at night.

This is indeed one of the nicest place to visit in Shanghai.Though this is not the tallest building in Shanghai,its really worth it.Its an amazing looking building and the views are awesome.The biggest highlight is the glass bottom viewing point..As many other places ,wifi is available in this attraction as well.However we had trouble reading the otp since it was in native language. Note:-Please mind that this is one of the most crowded places in Shangahi.The queues can get really big,and you might end up being in the line for a long time -The washrooms are not very well maintained and better to stay away unless its an emergency.

Three observation decks offer different experiences at the 94th, 97th, and 100th floors. The 100th floor is the highest observatory in the world, with transparent glass-walled walkways.

Yes, this is the second tallest building in the world, and the ultra fast elevator is no joke. We thought that the elevator in the Hong Kong's ICC was awesome. This one is just as great if not better. It goes up at 8 meters per second and down at 10 meters per second. So it takes about a minute to cover 118 floors. A smooth and quiet ride no shaking or bumping whatsoever. The views are very nice. We were lucky that the sky was clear and sunny today. We could see a lot. The nice thing is that I didn't feel any dizziness from this building compared to the ICC even when it is 19 floors higher. It must be the design. Highly recommended. Tips: 1. Get the tickets on the street level first before you go down the escalator to get inline to go inside. If you order online, then you should skip the ticker counter and get inline to go inside then use one of the machines to claim your ticket. For this process, the ICC process is better. 2. The temperatures on the 118th and 119th floors plus the crowd can be really hot. So dress in layers and take off as you go.

Shanghai tower was a great experience. It is a must visit site if your go to Shanghai.. it is the 2nd tallest building in the world sitting at a height of 632m with 127 floors this becoming the tallest in China/ Asia and only second to Burj Khalifa Dubai. This tower operates the worlds fastest elevators taking 50 seconds to reach the top of the tower and mere 17 seconds to come down. The view from the top is mesmerising and loved every minute of our visit.
