Shanghai, a rapidly changing magic city, stands on the 118th floor of the 632-meter-high central building. The Oriental Pearl, once a landmark building in Shanghai, has also become the scenery we can overlook from the perspective of the top of Shanghai.

Currently, the tallest buildings in Shanghai are:

Shanghai Tower, Shanghai Financial World Center, Shanghai Jinmao Tower, Oriental Pearl Tower.

Shanghai Center Building: The total height is 632 meters, with a 118-story main building above ground, a 5-story podium building, and a 5-story basement.

Shanghai World Financial Center: A total height of 492 meters, 101 floors above ground and 3 floors underground. The appearance is a square column.

Oriental Pearl Tower: The tower height is 468 meters

Jinmao Mansion: A total height of 420.5 meters and 88 floors.

That gloomy morning, on the Lujiazui Pedestrian Bridge known as the "Air Corridor", I looked up at the three tall buildings surrounded by clouds and mist. Their majesty stood high above my insignificance.

One end of the overpass is connected to the proud luxury shopping mall-the National Finance Center. The exterior wall is covered with huge brand logos, showing people who come to Lujiazui the status of a first-line international brand.

In the other direction is the Oriental Pearl Tower, which has a slightly gaunt appearance in rainy weather.

High-rise buildings stand all around it. This is indeed the most modern place in Shanghai.

Walking off the overpass, we approached Shanghai's skyscrapers step by step (Global Financial Center on the left, Jinmao Building on the right)

On the ground between the three high-rise buildings, there is a feeling of gathering the spirit of heaven and earth. When you look up, you can't see the top submerged in the clouds. The slimest building in the picture below is the tallest Shanghai Tower.

Rotate among them and find the best focus in a gray sky.

Come to "Shanghai Center".

I booked tickets in advance on Ctrip, and you can refund them at any time as long as there is no ticket issued. So don't worry about the itinerary, just book early. When picking up the ticket, the window staff informed that the visibility at the top is currently 0.

Yes, I should be able to imagine what I can see when the top is surrounded by clouds and mist. After hesitation for a moment, I decided not to go up now. I wanted to see if the clouds could disperse in the afternoon or at night. Maybe the night view would be more beautiful. So I planned to go to the Bund for a stroll first, have lunch and see the situation.

(Subway route from Lujiazui to the Bund: Take Line 2 from Lujiazui Subway Station to Xujing East, and stop 1 to Nanjing East Road. Download the Metro Metropolis app on your mobile phone. It is very convenient to scan the code and take the subway.)

After getting off the subway, watch the signs indicating the exit to the Bund or Nanjing Road. There shouldn't be too many people on the road at this time.

Landmark building: Peace Hotel

There are no good scenes to shoot in this weather, so just take a look. I was just inside the Shanghai Center Building, but now I am here from so far away to admire it.

So what kind of magical existence is Metro Line 2? Taking us across the river, we were just in Pudong, and now we are in Puxi. We marvel at the magic and the wisdom of mankind.

Gradually, there was a hint of the sun coming out. The following scene should be often seen in some views introducing Shanghai, right? The difference is that the background of most of those photos is blue sky and white clouds.

The tallest building on the right is the Shanghai Center Building, the second tallest building on the right is the Shanghai World Financial Center, and the one that almost overlaps with the World Financial Center is the Jinmao Building.

When I returned to Pudong on Line 2, my character exploded. Who helped me clear this fog? (From left to right are Jinmao Building, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Shanghai Center Building)

Finally embarked on the beginning of the journey to the top of Shanghai.

The evolution map of the Huangpu River and surrounding buildings is played in and out on the long screen at 10:3. In 2001, the tallest buildings standing in this building were Jinmao Building and the Oriental Pearl Tower.

In 2015, two tallest and second-tallest buildings were added to the increasingly prosperous river, but they did not seem to have any impact on the overall perspective. The seemingly small quantitative changes over the past decade have accumulated into huge qualitative changes.

Scenes taken at different times of the day all have different feelings. Sometimes the scenes are like dawn containing hope, and sometimes the scenes are like showing yourself confidently without hiding it.

Inside the center, there are some pictures, texts, and videos introducing the development history of Shanghai's skyscrapers.

The time, height, detailed information, etc. they were built.

The smiling elevator lady introduced some precautions in bilingual. She previously read in some comments that the service at the World Financial Center was not very good. However, the service in the center of Shanghai is very good. There are amiable staff guiding each entrance and exit to provide some help. The elevator reached the 118th floor steadily and quickly.

I thought I would encounter a stunning sunset. It's not amazing enough, but it's not bad.

These densely packed buildings on the ground lit up their beautiful neon lights.

The peaceful Huangpu River before nightfall.

Walking and looking along the 118-story transparent glass windows, you seem to be within reach of the roof of the World Financial Center.

Because the glass windows are multi-layered and the internal lighting, there will always be some fuzzy shadows in the picture.

People forget that it is dinner time here, enjoy the joy and sense of conquest of standing at the highest point, take selfies, watch, laugh and laugh, and wait for a long-awaited night scene.

The slightly neon Twilight Magic City, and the Jinmao Building overlooking it are just so.

The sun gradually faded its brilliance.

Under the dark blue curtain, it was time for night performance. The colorful Oriental Pearl is still very eye-catching in the yellow light.

The financial center was draped on a royal blue gauze, proudly standing out in the night.

Jinmao Center is slightly inferior, with only a few rings of diamond-like LED lights on the roof, and the lower parts are hidden in the night.

After coming down from the top, I looked up and looked up at the high sky for the last time. The clouds and mist floated around the sky above five to six hundred meters.

Until it completely surrounds the upper part of the central building.

Zhuo Ran stands beautifully in the night sky, with blue and purple beads falling on a jade plate. At this moment, it must be sending wireless signals to thousands of households, conveying laughter from all over the world.

Many people use Shanghai as Shanghai

the city

What kind of unique charm does it exude?

Late at night on Nanjing Road

On one side is a shop in a renovated old house

hawking some unattractive snack specialties

On the other side is a sexy girl with cat-ears

In front of an inconspicuous bar with foreigners

Pass a cigarette, borrow a light, and have an ambiguous conversation

Perhaps these old and prosperous

Reality and passion, classical and modern

The images created by blending and collision

Is this the real magic and charm of Shanghai?
