It was a low key day as it was a bit rainy and cloudy. But to be honest the clouds made the experience even better. You get the real Skycraper experience with clouds. Entry was smooth and very quick. I booked an evening tour so i saw the sunset and afterwards the light up city too. I can for sure recommend the Shanghai Tower experience! A must do in the city!

Was pretty nice. But the security check was a little chaotic. Reaching the first stop showed how crowded it really is. As it was almost time to sunset this was expected. Yet it was a smooth ride thought. I urge everyone to go to the upper floor to understand how this building can be so stable at this height.
