About
Quick facts: Duke parë formën spirale nga lart, duket sikur një virvull i madh prej qelqi po e përpinë, ndërtesa zë horizontin në një lartësi prej 632 metrash. Ashensori me shpejtësi shumë të lartë arrin deri në 20.5 metra në sekondë, duke të çuar brenda pak sekondash në zonën e shikimit mbi 100 kate, ku ndjehet një presion i lehtë në veshë.
Highlights: Duke hyrë në hapësirën midis kurorës dhe tornit, mund të zbulojmë kopshtet e ajrit njëra pas tjetrës. Më i dalluari është vëzhgimi në katin e 118-të, ku ndjehet era e lartë dhe dridhja e lehtë e qelqit poshtë. Në natë, fasada reflekton dritën argjendo-kaltër në mënyrë graduale, dhe efekti i jehonës nga spatet spirale krijon një ndjesi sikur era po rrëshqet duke bërë tinguj.
Insider tips
- Buy a timed ticket online to skip the ticket queue and secure a sunset slot.
- Head to the north-facing windows for the best views of the Bund and Huangpu River, and use the glass-floor area for dramatic photos.
- Bring a light jacket, higher floors can feel noticeably cooler and windier than street level.
- Avoid weekends and Chinese public holidays; early weekday mornings are the calmest if you want fewer people.
