Shanghai Tower

1. Shanghai Tower – Symbol of the Future

Shanghai Tower, reaching 632 meters tall, is China’s tallest building and ranks third globally. Nestled in the heart of Lujiazui Financial District, this spiral skyscraper gracefully winds upward like a silk ribbon soaring through the sky — a modern icon of Shanghai’s unrelenting ambition and innovation.

More than just an architectural marvel, it is a statement of China’s vision for the future.

2. A Touch of History in a Modern City

Though built in the 21st century, the tower’s story is tied closely with the historical transformation of Shanghai. It completes the famous “trio” with the Jin Mao Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center, together marking the evolution of this city since the 1990s.

Inside, interactive installations tell stories of the city’s past while celebrating its present progress.

3. Travel Your Way – Free and Flexible

Visitors can enjoy the tower through independent travel, discovering each section at their own pace. The Sky Deck on the 118th floor is a must-visit, offering a breathtaking 360-degree view of Shanghai from above the clouds.
