Today, one headed across the city to the Shanghai Tower (which is the tallest in China and second tallest in the world as of 2017)…
As one arrived at the tower, we were guided through the rear entrance as there are escalators down to the main entrance. This involved going the wrong way through security just to come back on ourselves!
It is said that the elevator up to the observation deck is the fastest in the world reaching a top speed of 18 meters/sec (40 mph), pretty quick! Once at the top, one can marvel at the Shanghai skyline including the Bund…
The observation deck is accessible however there are steps at one end of the circle so you have to come back to the ramp…
