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!

Purchasing the tickets were easily done through the app and QR codes issued shortly after. We didn't have to line at the ticket both, just walked straight through to the gates using the QR code.

Buying tickets thru Headout was rather complicated, too much information required in a very unstructured way. At the end, y key office was open and no lines!!! More expensive as well

Very impressive technical feat. Great view of the neighboring buildings, even when it's hazy. Be sure to book the additional ticket for the "damper." Great laser show.

    long quee even if slot booked. Namely commercial area. It would be useful to check the visibility conditions before setting off, so as to avoid wasting time.
