Great visit! Add the extra Dampener visit! It’s very impressive. Try and get there for before and after sunset then you get day and night … and sunset!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Lauren_D,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great visit to the Shanghai Tower.
Thanks also for the fantastic tip—adding the Tuned Mass Damper (the "Dampener") is indeed a must-see; it’s truly impressive engineering at its finest! And what a brilliant idea to experience the view both before and after sunset—you get the best of all worlds: daytime clarity, golden-hour magic, and the dazzling city lights at night.
We’re so glad we could help make your visit special. Hope to assist you again on your next adventure in Shanghai!

We felt that this was worth doing but was a bit over priced for what it is. Also had paid extra for the Damper show that was quite boring and would give it a miss

Great views but not much else (unless you like machines dispensing candy floss). The tower wasn't very busy when I went, so I was free to roam. But there wasn't a great deal to do - comparable buildings provide more information about what you can see in each direction. This would be a great addition.

We will attempt to communicate with the management of the site, hoping that more detailed information can be provided to make the entire sightseeing experience more rewarding.

Simply put: a MUST do! Brilliant in every way. So much to take in: we went mid- morning before the tourists, which was great. Excellent views of Shanghai. You should do the full tour, as the top part about the buildings ‘damper’ system and the internal light show with the Jade ornament is to be seen to be believed! A truly amazing morning seeing this building internally & externally. This can only be rated as 10/10.

In caso di mal tempo il personale della torre ti consiglia di non andare e ti propone il rimborso completo del biglietto.
Se hai acquistato tramite Viator questo non avviene, in quanto non rientra nelle loro policy
Spesso può capitare che non si vede niente dalla torre perché è brutto tempo
