Standing at the heart of Lujiazui Financial Zone, the city’s commercial district, is Shanghai Tower, the tallest building; a significant feat given the many skyscrapers in the region. Shanghai Tower reaches a peak of 632 meters and encompasses 130 storeys. Acknowledged as a symbol of innovation, sustainability, and China’s ascension, the building’s design carries an uncanny likeness to a knife. In less than a minute, the world’s fastest elevator will rocket you to the 118th floor observation deck, where you can absorb the breathtaking panoramic view.
