About Shanghai Tower

Shanghai Tower is a mixed-use skyscraper, but the visitor experience described here is Top of Shanghai. Its main observatory on the 118th floor looks out from 546 meters above the city. The height changes the scale of the view: neighboring skyscrapers sit below you, while the Huangpu River, the Bund and the wider city form a broad panorama beyond Lujiazui.

The Top of Shanghai Exhibition Hall on B1 introduces the tower’s design before the high-speed elevator ascent. CTN suggests allowing around 1–2 hours, plus time for queues. Choose clear daylight to read the city’s layout, or evening for its illuminated buildings and roads. Cloud and haze can obscure the panorama, so leave some flexibility rather than relying on a guaranteed sunset view.

Read the floor and experience inclusions before buying a sightseeing ticket. SKY632 Art Space on floors 125–126, the hotel and dining are separate unless explicitly included. Check current prices, entry windows and last admission through the operator, and bring the original identity card or passport used for a named booking. Follow the Top of Shanghai entrance signs rather than office or hotel access. From Lujiazui station, the official directions list Line 2 Exit 6 via IFC Mall’s LG2 level, or Line 14 Exit 9A.
