We booked tickets for the Shanghai Tower through Headout by downloading their app. It was super easy to purchase at a great price compared to other apps that charge a surcharge. We had a great time. Access was super quick via QR code scanning. We chose sunset so we could see the Pudong skyline light up with the skyscrapers. An unforgettable experience!

    I did not have any issues with Headout. The problem was the destination itself. I had planned to take some good night time images from the tower. However, there were too many people, too much of reflection on the glass of the building effectively making it impossible to get a decent image. I think I am done with tall buildings. This was my last.

    Review of Shanghai Tower Visit - August 31, 2025 My visit to Shanghai Tower on August 31, 2025, was truly a memorable experience that I will cherish for a lifetime. Standing at such a magnificent height and taking in the breathtaking views of the city was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The architecture of the tower is remarkable, showcasing the innovation and creativity that Shanghai is renowned for. As I am from India, it was particularly exciting for me to see people from different cultures coming together in this vibrant city. The diversity added an extra layer of richness to my visit, making it even more interesting and inspiring. I highly recommend visiting Shanghai Tower to anyone traveling to Shanghai. It’s a must-see landmark that offers not only stunning views but also a unique glimpse into the heart of a city that beautifully blends tradition with modernity. This experience has left a lasting impression on me, and I look forward to sharing it with friends and family back home. Regards, Haresh Panchal
