Top of Shanghai: Shanghai Tower Observatory 上海之巅：上海中心观光厅

118th floor at 546 meters high, this is the observatory at Asia's tallest building named Shanghai Tower. Every September is Shanghai tourism festival when all attractions provide half price tickets, so it is a good choice to check out the new landmark opened just on April after 8 years of construction.

每年的上海旅游节除了人挤人的淮海路花车巡游外，各大景点半价也是个不能错过的薅羊毛好机会。比如今年4月才开门迎客的世界第二高，亚洲第一高楼上海中心观光厅。这是目前也是预计将来很长一段时间内能站到的上海最高观景台，可以鸟瞰整个上海，据说能见度好的时候还能看到黄浦江入海口，因此如果各位有机会来上海的话千万不要错过哦。

The journey begins.
在门口的招牌还挺大气

这是上海高楼三巨头：金茂，环球金融中心以及上海中心。金茂大厦99年竣工的，作为曾经的中国第一高楼保持记录了很多年，我在上学的时候当时女生讨论是将来如果能去金茂上班是很光荣的事情。那时候去金茂咖啡厅喝咖啡看夜景也是很懂行的一件事情，因为游客都是去东方明珠看看，知道金茂咖啡厅的不多。环球金融中心是日本人开发的，当年因为金融危机和其他因素推迟很久才完工，造型倒是很有特色，很多人不知道建筑的全名但是都知道叫做开瓶器。上海中心造型比较中规中矩，亮点不多，名字最为大气，也是国资系才能有资格起这么霸气的名字吧。
The top 3 skyscrapers in Shanghai, they have the nick names by their shapes: the injector, the bottle opener, and the eggbeater.

We arrived early to avoid crowds, the city just woke up...
清晨的陆家嘴，非常宁静，但是马上旅游团大军就要来了

There it is! The entrance is at the basement of the building, where a 3D printing model of the building is eye-catching.
在入口的3D打印模型还蛮帅的

Shanghai Tower is the second tallest building in the world, and the tallest building is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
世界前10高建筑，第一高目前还处于一骑绝尘的位置拉开第二名很远的迪拜哈里发塔

My son is quite excited when taking a photo with the Burj Khalifa model.
我儿子好像不太明白世界最高的代表什么意思，不过他很兴奋

After only 55 seconds we arrived at 118th floor
电梯的速度非常快就到了118层

And there it is! Unfortunately it is cloudy today, but we can still have a panoramic view of the city
终于到了一览众山小的时刻了。。。

今天视野不是特别的好，浦西看得不太清楚，有点可惜~黄浦江上的私人游艇是越来越多了，希望有机会坐这种私人游艇游一次黄浦江~
