    Shanghai, the Jinmao Tower, among the tallest skyscrapers in the world



    It is practically visible from every point of Shanghai. And the Jinmao Tower, a skyscraper located in the financial district of Pudong.

    This building was inaugurated in 1998 (calculate that the entire Pudong neighborhood just 25 years ago was made up of rice paddies and swamps only and now it looks like Manhattan) and is high 421 meters and ranks in top 13 tallest skyscrapers on the planet as well as the most impressive in Shanghai.

    Through a single non-stop lift, inside which you can see exactly where you are in the skyscraper, you arrive in an instant, 45 seconds, on the 88th floor where theObservation Deck, the viewing platform from which, if you choose a clear day, it will be possible to see a panorama that takes your breath away.

    This particular building stands tall sixteen different segments where the first 50 floors are occupied by offices but then, at the 51st, is the tallest hotel in the world, the Grand Hyatt Shanghai.

    The only ascent to the observatory costs around € 8.

    In addition, on the 87th floor you can stop for a drink or eat something at the Cloud, panoramic bar unique of its kind for the view it offers.



    Finally, if you use super kitsch to get to Pudong Panoramic Tunnel of the Bund (which I recommend, it seems to be in an 80's amusement park attraction), you can buy tickets for both attractions at a reduced price.
