Standing at the top of Shanghai Tower really puts the scale of the city into perspective. The elevator ride itself is an experience — incredibly fast and smooth — and within seconds you’re looking down at a completely different version of Shanghai. The observation deck offers a unique view compared to other skyscrapers nearby. Instead of just wide-open scenery, you get this layered, vertical cityscape with surrounding towers almost at eye level, which feels both futuristic and slightly surreal, especially at night. The interior design is modern and spacious, and the whole visit feels well organized without being rushed. It’s not just about the height — it’s about how the building makes you feel small while the city feels endless. If you want to truly understand Shanghai’s scale and ambition, this is the place to do it.
The Shanghai tower, the tallest building in China at 632 meters is well worth a visit. The tower is located in the financial business district of the city and next door to a high-end shopping mall. You can purchase tickets beforehand but during the week it isn't necessary. The speedy lift will take you up to the 360 degree observation deck. From up here you have great views over the city and will appreciated this buildings hight. Even the Pearl Tower looks small in comparison.
Absolute must go destination in Shanghai. You get to see the at the top memory tree - you can hang trinkets and good luck charm. There is a shop and restaurant as well if you want to have something to eat - you need to take the stairs up!. There is a special room but you need to pay to see exclusive design of the tower as well. This is such a spectacle - the lift went up from ground to floor 118 within 55 sec. (You can watch the video included)
Shanghai Tower was truly one of the highlight in the city of Shanghai. It is the tallest building in China standing at 630m and one of the tallest in the world, it is a masterpiece that immediately leaves you in wow moment even before you get inside the building. It has a modern design and futuristic. The experience becomes even more joyful once you enter. The lifts were so fast and smooth, journey to the observation deck was so quick from ground floor. Within seconds, you are on top of the building, amazing panoramic views of Shanghai. The view of the city skyline, the River view, and the surrounding high rise buildings are an absolutely beautiful, both during the day and at night. The deck is very spacious, clean, and properly organised for the visitors to move around comfortably and enjoy the views from different angles. The glass walls offer clear visibility, making it perfect for photos and videos. Staff members are friendly, professional, and helpful, which is overall positive. This Tower is not just about height, it represents innovation, engineering excellence. I highly recommend adding Shanghai Tower to your itinerary for an unforgettable and inspiring experience. Climbing up during the day gives clear view, at night go to the Bund area and see the buildings, it’s fully lit and some buildings even got some projection lights.
Visiting Shanghai Tower in Shanghai was one of the most impressive highlights of our trip. The building itself is an architectural masterpiece, with its unique twisting design standing out among the skyscrapers of Lujiazui. The elevator ride to the observation deck was extremely fast and smooth, making the journey to the top exciting on its own. From the top, the panoramic view of Shanghai is absolutely breathtaking. We could clearly see the Huangpu River, the Oriental Pearl Tower, and the entire city skyline stretching far into the distance. The experience feels even more magical during sunset when the lights of the city slowly begin to glow. We also booked our tickets through Klook, which helped us avoid long queues and made the entry process very convenient. Overall, Shanghai Tower is a must-visit attraction that offers an unforgettable view of the city and a smooth, well-organized tourist experience.
