China #9 View from The Jin Mao Tower
To get a bird's eye view you need to take the elevater to the top of The Jin Mao Tower

Looking from the top of this across to the top of the Shanghai World Financial Centre makes it look very close. Now don't you think it resembles 'a giant bottle opener'! The original design was for a 'circle' but there was a very good reason why the Chinese wouldn't approve of that design (link will explain if you are interest).
Once you get to the the viewing area you can walk around but there is no outside viewing gallery so all the pictures are taken through glass.

Oriental Pearl TV Tower
It was quite hazy and the colour variation on different cameras is quite marked (not sure I altered mine for the better).
This last picture is the view looking down to the ground floor from the centre of the tower.
It made me feel a bit wobbly looking down there!Archives:
