About this experience
Brave the dizzying heights of the Shanghai Tower for an unbeatable 360-degree view of Shanghai, where you’ll get to admire the city’s skyline and the neighboring Huangpu river. Standing at 632 meters tall, Shanghai Tower is the tallest skyscraper in China and the second highest in the entire world, making it the perfect place in the city to observe the picturesque sunset and the vibrant city life. Despite the height, going up and down the tower is no problem, as you’ll be taking elevators that reach maximum speeds of 65 kilometers per hour! You’ll also discover why the tower was built in a twisting design through multimedia interaction in the exhibition hall, where you can learn about the tower’s design and architecture. Don’t forget to stop by the tower’s post office, the highest in the world, where sending a postcard becomes a totally different experience!

Highest I've ever been!
I stayed for about 2 hours, watched the sun drop, and saw the city lights flicker on me one neighborhood at a time. It's not cheap, but honestly, this is the view that defines Shanghai for me now.

It is a gem
Amazingly done we never had a experience like that before. I love it and I will recommend it to my friends and family members.
via Tripadvisor
A true highlight of Shanghai and worth every minute!
The deck itself is beautifully designed, clean, and well-organized, with plenty of space to take photos and enjoy the scenery. The displays and exhibits give great insight into the building’s design and Shanghai’s rapid development. Watching the sunset from up here and seeing the city lights come alive is absolutely unforgettable. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local, this is one of those experiences you shouldn’t miss.

Great value and easy self guide
This tour simply gave you the tickets - everything else is down to you. This really suits the way we like to travel. Shanghai has a great metro system which is reliable, clean and good value. Take the time to visit the 126 floor to see the show. Really impressive and surprisingly few people were doing this part. Allow a come of hours for both.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shanghai Tower Admission Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.
How much does Shanghai Tower Admission Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shanghai Tower Admission Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.
Is Shanghai Tower Admission Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shanghai Tower Admission Ticket?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Shanghai Tower Admission Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shanghai Tower Admission Ticket?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shanghai Tower Admission Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Shanghai?
+
On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Suzhou Private Day Trip from Shanghai with Bullet Train Option, 4-Hour Flexible Private Shanghai City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Shanghai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Shanghai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
