Cross to Pudong to see soaring skyscrapers including Jinmao Tower and Shanghai Tower. Visit IFC luxury shopping center. Ascend to the observation deck of the Shanghai Tower for a vertiginous panorama of the city's endless glass-and-steel forest. Watch the sinuous Jin Mao Tower and bottle-opener World Financial Center rise from the urban tapestry 500 meters below.

Ascend to the observation deck for panoramic views of the entire city — from old-town Puxi to modern Pudong. Soak in panoramic views that stretch from ancient landmarks to modern skylines. The juxtaposition of 2,000-year-old temples and glittering towers tells the story of a civilization that honors its past while racing toward the future.

Glide along the river as the city lights up, creating a breathtaking spectacle of neon and illuminated skyscrapers.
