A collection of modern, massive, and addictive skylines of the biggest city I've seen.
On one of the first days after I arrived, I witnessed that Shanghai can put a nice sunset. So, I wanted to witness these colors from what's currently the tallest observation deck on the planet: the viewing platform located near the top of the Shanghai Tower.
Shanghai Tower (the tallest structure on the right) features an observation deck at 561m / 1,841 ft.
However, I ended up waiting more than a month for good weather. Shanghai is often behind the Great Wall Smog of China.
As such, I grew to love the city at night. Once the daylight gives way to the millions of artificial lamps, the greyness gets replaced with a super vivid palette.
The scale of Shanghai is so vast that one could spend a lifetime admiring it from all the different angles.
Finally, one day, the forecast claimed the best conditions in a while, and I went for the Shanghai Tower experience. Unfortunately, the visibility still left things to be desired.
Nevertheless, what a sight! All the 200, 300m-tall buildings looked like models. Not many places around the globe offer such an experience. However, my favorite views were from elsewhere, as you could see the downtown towers soaring into the sky. Like this:
Here are a few other compositions that I found:
And later on, I even saw the perfect sunset. It was from the ground level, but still, it felt rare as winning a lottery.
Fab times, right there!
