188 TRADE CENTER, Shanghai, Chine Review

I feel that Shanghai is a city of contrast. Two widely different poles intersecting in a chaotic way. Old meets new. Modern meets old school. Refined meets raw. Cross over the Huangpu and here I am in the middle of Lujiazui, an epitome of modern Shanghai. Brightly lit with skyscrapers that are amongst the tallest in the world (in the same spot!), much of the area are either malls or offices as this is the business district. From so up close, the 3 towers stand like brothers in arms, watchful over Shanghai. I m getting nervous just looking at them.

The second tallest skyscraper in Shanghai, at the heart of the financial district. Taking the high speed elevator to the tower's observation deck with glass see through floors, which offers the bird's-eye view of the Huangpu River and the CBD of Shanghai.

It is very interesting to know the building and go to the terrace which is located on the characteristic upper opening of this building. There you can walk on a glass over 400 meters high looking down. It was a shame that on the day of my visit the pollution was strong and you could barely see the view beyond the river.
Interestingly, in this same region are 3 tall buildings, next to each other. There was a first in which this visited surpassed by more than 50 meters. Then they built another next door, which it overcame as well and became the tallest building in China (although this is the second). It seems like a fight between neighbors jealous of each other.

Highest building I have ever been. Great view over Shanghai. But you have to go here when the weather is good and there aren't smog.

I love this place especially if there is no money to go to Shanghai Tower. On the 92nd floor there is a restaurant from the Hyatt Hotel. You can order coffee and make no bad photos.

If you are in Shanghai it is almost an obligation to invest 180 Yuan to go up to the 100th floor of the tower and enjoy an incredible sight at 492 meters high, beauty cannot be described in words. Even if you are afraid of heights, you have to do it.

One of the most beautiful and useful building in Shanghai. You can go to the Observatory at 97-100 floor and get some breathtaking views of Shanghai city.

The high rise buildings in Shanghai is gorgeous. The designs are unique. It is fun to go up to the observatory level and view the city. Just make sure it is a sky clear day since the pollution in the city is quite bad.

The hop-on hop-off tour bus does stop at this area.

A bit expensive but praiseworthy! Alone the elevator ride is the hit! The view of the whole of Shanghai and the Oriental Pearl Tower overlooking the Bund is simply WOW!

Have come here 2 times to experience the wonderful feeling of watching Shanghai from the 105th floor of Shanghai World Financial Center or drinking tea on the 98th floor.

I have never seen anything more magical in my life, I have amazing experiences from visiting China.

Scared of heights, but towers are cool buildings to spend time there, including during night time.

With its imposing character, the Center confirms the rise and progress of modern China. The whole complex around it leaves a strong impression on the visitors and, simply put, amazes us with its architectural and architectural feat.

The Shanghai World Financial Center is a wonderful piece of architecture on the outside. However, one catch is that the observation decks only face east and west, so a 360 degree view of Shanghai is absent. The glass was cloudy too and the Shanghai Tower had better views.

Although it's not the highest building in the shanghai, it's still a impressive building i ever seen.

It is really worth seeing. Especially nearby you can see how gigantic it is. The lighting is great too !!! And you can from Metro on the bridge directly to the buildings, without having to go down and cross the street, great solved!

One of the important buildings in Pudong's splendid Scarline.
The unique cleanliness of the KPF design and the impressive design with a void at the top is what is called a bottle opener building in China. You can visit the shopping center on the lower floor, or use the Sky Lounge Observation Deck. The top floor observation deck is famous for its glass floor.

Nice view over the city, although smog makes it a bit less pretty. Slightly over-priced, but a nice experience if you can spend the money.

This 101-story skyscraper would cut a striking profile on the Shanghai skyline even without the aperture at the top. But that design detail sets it apart and makes for an unusual observation deck.

Though construction started in 1997 with grand plans for the tower to shoot up like a beanstalk, construction was temporarily halted when the Asian financial crisis began in July of that same year. But by 2003, construction resumed, and the Shanghai World Financial Center was complete and open for business five years later.

It remains one of the world s tallest buildings, and certainly one of its most eye-catching.

The wait to the observatory is verrrrryyyy long... Worth it for me but totally depends on personal experience.

Up to the 100th floor: rate Y120 for students, Y180 for adults. It is best to go up there before sunset (to enjoy the day and night views). By cons many people, too many ... you almost have to fight to be able to take pictures. Tourists don't let go of the windows.

You can access for a good panoramic view of the city and an excellent photo

Central location and you can find other info on your own...it's too famous lol . Supermarket has good selections just with higher prices.

The High rise building in China, we visited 118 floors

The best views over the city and nice place for take a lot of pictures.

Lunch at 91st floor
Into the space
Wonderful!!!!

Very amazing building. A world of food and bars inside, also some great Google offices.

Great views. One of the top 10 tallest building in the world. Thought it's the tallest but Shah tour is much taller than this one.

It is a place where you can see the whole picture of Shanghai.

I love the three towers of Shanghai together and this has the peculiarity that it looks like a can opener through the hole at the top of the building. Apparently it has the glass floor on top but the new one is higher. Is awesome. Hy a lot of queue to enter, it seems little but it can be more than two hours, it is better to be informed because the other tower there are no queues.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a beautiful bottle opener, and the interior is full of magnificence.

Very nice views. You can go to the Hyatt bar on the floor 87.

The skyscrapers are beautiful and at night ... without words

Nice view and unique architecture, the building is quite pretty.

A great attraction to visit in Shanghai. The tower offers a really great view of the city!

Shanghai Pudong Finance is bound to travel ~

High-tech architecture and modeling

You can see the entire Bund and the Pearl Tower of the East ~ More style ~ You can move at night to see the Bund lights slowly turn on. ~

Nice, but the ticket for the scenic spot is quite expensive.

The observation deck on the top floor is worth a visit

Shanghai's No.1 skyscraper, it's a fantastic place to get a gorgeous view of both Pudong and Puxi on the 97th floor. There is an excellent Japanese Ramen Store named Tonchin on B1 that you must try,

This is a very cool place to go see. The skyscrapers soaring up around you in the financial district are impressive and they have great viewing platforms to see the city from.

Stunning view of the city but don't worth the price, too expensive

Amazing views of amazing city. The glass floor so high up was thrilling.

Bottle caps, 500 meters down the lookout glass! All the same glass is a trap, night view

Great views from observation deck. There is 3 of them - lower on 94th floor (432m/1388ft), middle on 97th floor (439m/1440ft) and top - 100th floor(474m/1555ft)

it is very beautiful congratulations the ingenheieos

You can see the night view of the Bund, so beautiful

Fantastic view of the city, but tiny bit pricey to go too the observation deck.

Shanghai World Financial Center is a skyscraper located in Lujiazui, Shanghai, China. It is 492 meters high and 101 stories above ground. It is currently the fourth tallest building in China and the tallest flat-top building in the world.

It s a real experience to go up there. Even with all the smog you can see a lot and it s truly breathtaking. And don t be scared if it s cloudy, if you re lucky you can get an a amazing view with a view clouds. Just look at the picture I took ;)

An unmissable visit, a futuristic elevator that takes you in a flash to the top at 474 meters.
A view from the top of the corkscrew overlooking the city, I was lucky enough to have a clear day.

My most favorite architecture magnificence, love the wedge cutting and simplistic design of the building as well as the top observatory. One can truly enjoy the panoramic view of city and the river from the top as well as with a lineup of exhibitions hosting by the 97th floor and underground plaza. Haven't tried the high-end hotels inside (cuz I'm local) but I guess the answer would be the same. Just love this place. :)

Impressive building, the observatory deck is crystal, so you feel like floating in the sky

Breathing view from Shanghai World Financial Center observation deck, one of the tallest buildings in the world.

The financial center (opener) has great views! Although things will change with the new Shanghai tower! That yes, the experience of going up to the CF is amazing. Do not look away from the whole experience.

Nice experience, absolute cleanliness, beautiful view, I loved watching the afternoon fall and the arrival of the night enjoying at this height! I recommend them if you visit Shanghai.

European architecture, beautiful & impressive structure, good view from 100th floor.

beautiful night view but too many people
must line up where you want to go

Observation deck is a disappointment, totally skippable. But it's an incredible building, especially at night!

Thrilling experience on one of the world's tallest buildings, we were near the highest floor and I could feel the building swaying due to its height, a very unique experience

The Shanghai World Financial Center is the tallest skyscraper in China, followed by the International Trade Center Tower in Hong Kong, and the fourth tallest in the world after the Burj Dubai, Taipei Tower and Mecca Clock Tower. Its height is 492 meters. Opened on August 29, 2008. The skyscraper is located in Lujiazui District and Pudong District in Shanghai. The center overlooks the Huangpu River.
