🕙 Timing: Arrive around 5 PM to enjoy the daytime views, then wait for the sunset and night skyline—breathtakingly beautiful.

🚇 Transportation: Exit from Metro Line 2, Lujiazui Station, Exit 1, and walk just a few minutes to reach the tower.

🌟 Must-Do Experiences:

• The 259-meter skywalk, where you’re suspended hundreds of meters above ground—only for the fearless; it’s perfect for stunning photos, so wear bright-colored clothing.

• Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center (ground level), offering an immersive experience of old Shanghai charm.

🍔 Dining: The revolving restaurant inside the tower is pricey but romantic, letting you dine while enjoying panoramic views; there are plenty of food options at Plaza 66 right outside.
