Want to get to the top of the second tallest building on earth? Of course you do! If only it were open to the public, eh? So here’s the good news: Bespoke is one of a handful of trusted companies to hold the keys to the tower during its mysterious soft opening (‘maybe July or August’ is what we were told when we last asked about full public access). Thus far, we’ve been running private tours to the ‘Top of Shanghai’ but, due to demand, we’ve arranged two special public tours on May 19th and 21st. Act quickly, because spaces are limited and booking will close 48 hours prior to the tours (or when all spaces are taken).
In terms of height the super sexy Shanghai Tower, designed by US master architects Gensler, is second only to Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, but here’s a fun fact: its viewing platform is actually higher than the Burj’s, meaning you’re visiting the world’s highest observation deck before the inevitable tourist crowds descend. Our tour will take in the buildings rather slick basement museum where the conception, design and construction of the tower is illustrated by means of video, hologram, touchscreen and a whole bunch of sci-fi-esque goodness! Shanghai Tower staff are on hand for those that really want to geek out on the buildings numerous statistics and superlatives. We then board the world’s fastest elevator and zip 118 floors to the ‘Top of Shanghai’ where you’ll gaze down on the once-mighty ‘Bottle Opener’ and Jinmao Tower from your prime position atop the new king of the Pudong skyline.
