These days China likes to flaunt everything that is big and grand. On 28 August, the world’s third tallest skyscraper Shanghai World Financial Centre (492 meters, 101 storeys), after Burj Dubai and Taipei 101, was open for business. And tomorrow (30 August), the observatory on the 100th floor of the Centre will open, becoming the world’s tallest sightseeing facility.
Besides the 100th floor, the 94th and 97th floors will also offer observatory facilities with top-to-bottom glass windows.
But it won’t be free – in fact, it will be expensive. Visitors will be charged RMB150 (USD22) to enter the observatory.
