Over
Korte feiten: Looking up at the spiraling shape feels like being engulfed by a massive glass vortex. The entire tower dominates the skyline at a height of 632 meters. The ultra-fast elevator reaches a top speed of about 20.5 meters per second, swiftly carrying you to observation decks above the hundredth floor. There is a slight pressure sensation in your ears during the ride.
Hoogtepunten: Walking into the gap between the outer shell and the tower body reveals a series of sky gardens. The most striking is the observation space on the 118th floor. Standing there, you can feel the high-altitude wind shear and subtle vibrations beneath the glass. At night, the façade reflects a gradient of silver-blue light. Combined with the echo effect produced by the tower’s spiral seams, it almost feels as if you can hear the wind sliding down along the spiral.
Insidertips
- 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.
