The admission process was quick, and we were soon treated to stunning views of the city's incredible cityscape. The observation provided excellent photo opportunities, particularly viewing the Huangpu River.
We booked our admission in advance, and this made our visit totally stress free. The facilities clean, the staff were welcoming and everything was well managed considering the amount of visitors. I would certainly include this attraction on any Shanghai itinerary.
I Bought my ticket online ahead of time, which saved me some time at the main entrance, but still I had to wait in line for the elevators inside. It's worth doing once simply for the experience, but be prepared for crowds.
The building itself feelsbvery iconic, safe, and professional. We really enjoyed the Shanghai museum which is located in ground floor. It's get very busy on the upper decks but it is a top tier landmark so you expect that.
Take the elevator to the main deck at 263 meter, there you will find a 360-degree observation deck plus a transparent walk around the tower. You can go even higher to the space capsule at 350 meters, this however isn't really worth it unless you want to learn a bit about space and see some space pictures.
