Sky High in Shanghai🏙️

Sky-High Magic at Shanghai Tower 🌃🏙️
Witness the city unfold beneath your feet from the iconic Shanghai Tower—China’s tallest building and a must-see for urban adventurers! Morning serenity and nighttime sparkle both offer stunning perspectives you won’t want to miss.

Start your day with a sunrise trip up to the Observatory—it opens at 8:30 AM and the address is No. 501, Yincheng Middle Road, Lujiazui, Pudong. Beat the crowds early for pure panoramic bliss, with the city waking up below. In evenings, the dazzling lights transform the landscape: plan to arrive before 9:30 PM (or 10:30 PM during Golden Week, Sep 30–Oct 7).

Must-dos: Snap an insta-worthy shot of the spiraling skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There are interactive displays on city history and eco-tech—quick stops if you’re a details buff. Don’t skip the sky walks if you’re feeling adventurous!

Photo spots: The north side for the Bund view, southwest corner for futuristic Pudong, and right by the “Shanghai Tower” neon sign for those iconic selfies.

Visiting tips: Arrive early morning for minimal lines, and head back after sunset for a totally different vibe—you’ll get epic shots both times. Buy tickets only from official counters or trip.com for safety and deals. Elevators are super-fast—hold onto your phone and note which floor you're headed for!

Precautions: Sometimes it gets breezy by the windows—bring a light sweater. Visibility can dip if it’s foggy, so check weather apps. The highest viewing deck can get crowded at night; move around for better angles.
