Fodor's Review:

This gorgeous 88th-floor (8 being the Chinese number implying wealth and prosperity) industrial art-deco pagoda is among the five tallest buildings in the world and the tallest in China—at least for the time being, as a massive skyscraper being built next door will soon eclipse it. In it is also the highest hotel in the world—the Grand Hyatt Shanghai takes up the 53rd to 87th floors. The 88th-floor observation deck, reached in 45 seconds by two high-speed elevators, offers a 360-degree view of the city. The Jinmao combines the classic 13-tier Buddhist pagoda design with postmodern steel and glass. Check out the Hyatt's dramatic 33-story atrium or the Cloud Nine bar on the 87th floor.

  • Cost: Observation deck Y50
  • Open: Daily 8:30 AM-9 PM
