Brave the dizzying heights of the Shanghai Tower for an unbeatable 360-degree view of Shanghai, where you’ll get to admire the city’s skyline and the neighboring Huangpu river. Standing at 632 meters tall, Shanghai Tower is the tallest skyscraper in China and the second highest in the entire world, making it the perfect place in the city to observe the picturesque sunset and the vibrant city life. Despite the height, going up and down the tower is no problem, as you’ll be taking elevators that reach maximum speeds of 65 kilometers per hour! You’ll also discover why the tower was built in a twisting design through multimedia interaction in the exhibition hall, where you can learn about the tower’s design and architecture. Don’t forget to stop by the tower’s post office, the highest in the world, where sending a postcard becomes a totally different experience!

The deck itself is beautifully designed, clean, and well-organized, with plenty of space to take photos and enjoy the scenery. The displays and exhibits give great insight into the building’s design and Shanghai’s rapid development. Watching the sunset from up here and seeing the city lights come alive is absolutely unforgettable. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local, this is one of those experiences you shouldn’t miss.
This tour simply gave you the tickets - everything else is down to you. This really suits the way we like to travel. Shanghai has a great metro system which is reliable, clean and good value. Take the time to visit the 126 floor to see the show. Really impressive and surprisingly few people were doing this part. Allow a come of hours for both.
