Visiting the Shanghai Tower was a truly breathtaking experience. From the moment the elevator started going up at breakneck speed, the feeling of reaching the clouds was unique. Arriving at the observation deck, the panoramic views of the city were not so good as it was cloudy. But the skyscrapers, the Huangpu River and the lights drawing the skyline looked like a work of art blurred by the haze. The combination of technology, modern architecture and such a broad perspective of Shanghai made me feel small before the immensity of the city, but deeply in awe. It was an unforgettable moment, full of awe and admiration for what human beings are capable of creating, the spectacle of the lights turning on was incredible.

The visit to the tower is very impressive. The big skyscrapers of Pudong seen from above take on a completely different dimension. The height from which you look out over the city is truly impressive. I axquired tickets in advance and although there were a lot of people, I didn't queue, everything runs very smoothly. I also recommend seeing the light show on the 226th floor

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!

    The views are excellent and at night even more breathtaking. All very well organized time is not priced, you hire for two hours but no one rushes you to leave you can stay longer if you wish.
