Plan your Shanghai tour? Would you like to have a bird’s-eye view of the fast developing Shanghai? Only after Shanghai Tower – the tallest skyscraper in Shanghai, Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC) is the second tallest building ( 492 meters ) offering no less magnificent panoramic views from the sky over the magical city of Shanghai.
The most outstanding feature of the skyscrapers is an aperture on its summit, which is often dubbed as “the bottle opener” by foreigners and Chinese.
In Shanghai, there are four major tallest buildings that have fantastic observation decks from the sky with mesmerizing panoramas – Shanghai Tower, Jinmao Tower and Shanghai World Financial Center and Shanghai Oriental Pearl TV Tower.
See the picture below: Shanghai World Finacial Center ( the bottle opener ) on the left; Jinmao Tower in the Middle; Shanghai Tower on the right.
If you are an enthusiast for panoramic views from tall buildings, you can choose any of the four skyscrapers – Shanghai Tower ( 623 meters ), Shanghai World Financial Center ( 492 meters ) , Shanghai Oriental Pearl TV Tower ( 470 meters ), and Jinmao Tower (420 meters ).
Today let’s go up Shanghai World Financial Center! Shanghai World Financial Center stands adjacent to Shanghai Tower on its east and Jinmao Tower on its southeast. It is a multi-use skyscraper, encompassing offices, hotels, conference rooms, observation decks, and ground-floor shopping malls.
