Shanghai Tower Tickets

The Shanghai Tower, rising 632 meters above earth, is currently China's tallest building and the world's second tallest overall. Positioned at the core of Lujiazui, Pudong, it appears like this for miles around. It stares like a giant eye outward to the world. With its super-stretch designs, its elevator is already in the world record books. An observation deck for 118 floors located at the Shanghai summit immediately whisks visitors up into the sky. One can enjoy this one-stop tour of Pudong with a panoramic view below him and thousands upon thousands of clouds above, all from right beside the cacophony that is centre.

Tourist Reviews and Comments

Shanghai Tower has maintained a visitor satisfaction rating of over 90 percent. People particularly love the spectacular views, thrilling high-speed elevator ride and stylish modern architecture. Many speak of the romantic nighttime atmosphere - sweeping Shanghai's sparkling nightscape is incomparable for taking pictures full of beautiful memories. But you also read that at peak times it can be quite crowded. There were long lines in the elevators and at waiting areas, suggesting that people will have to come ahead for their descent ride or else avoid crowds as best they can.
