Shanghai Tower

Exploring Shanghai? You can’t miss the ultra-impressive Shanghai Tower 🏙️—at 646 meters high, this is literally the tallest building in all of China and the second tallest in the world! The highlight? The world's fastest elevator—hold onto your phone, you’ll be 118 floors up in less than a minute! 😲 The view from the top is absolutely unreal: the city looks miniature, skyscrapers surround you, and on cloudy days, you’re floating above the clouds for serious “heaven in the city” vibes. Must-See Spot Shanghai Tower Address: No. 501, Yincheng Middle Road, Lujiazui, Pudong New Area Opening Hours: Daily 8:30–22:00 (slightly extended hours during Golden Week in early October; last admission 21:30) Travel Hacks Get there early for shorter elevator queues (trust me, mornings before 10am are a breeze)! For the clearest city views, check the weather—on foggy or cloudy days, you might be literally in the clouds (which is wild and magical, but you lose some city detail). Don’t forget a charged phone—photos from the top are must-haves. Buy your ticket ahead on trip.com to save time and potentially snag a discount. Getting There The metro is your friend: take Line 2 to Lujiazui Station and it’s just a 10-minute walk to the entrance. Foodie Tip There are cafés inside the Tower for a snack with a view, but for something cheaper and local, scout out small eateries on Yincheng Middle Road before or after your visit!
