    Nice view from that iconic building

    Might not be the tallest but you can walk on different floors (one below and one above the trapezoid aperture) and see the surrounding skyscrapers. The entrance fee was not too expensive.

    Good place to view shanghai

    It is good place to view modern Shanghai. You can choose either pearl tower or world financial center. Both place give the same feeling. Peal tower was a bit more interesting as the tower represents Shanghai. This place was full of people, especially on the...More

    Good place to view the skyline

    While the SWFC is an office building and a hotel, it is also a shopping and restaurant mall. Shopping is fair, but there is a great selection of restaurants. My favorite there is Din Tai Fung Restaurant on the third floor for its famous xiaoling...More

    Proud price for a vantage point, but worth the view.

    180 Yuan for the ticket and photografing is not easy at njight, because the windows are not clean enough and reflect to much. It is still worth a visit, as it also offers a great view of the skyline and the pearl tower.

    Towering Skyscrapers

    This area looks amazing at night when the lights get switched on. Lots of nice buildings including some cool malls. A must see if you are in the Bund area.

    When people speak of Shanghai’s futuristic skyline,
    it’s the financial district of Luiazui they are
    speaking of. Shanghai’s most iconic buildings are
    located in close proximity to Lujiazui’s elevated ring
    road and swanky eateries. Sky-high shopping and chic
    bars fill the highrises around the area. As is
    characteristic of a world-class financial business
    district, some of Shanghai’s best malls and hotels can
