Lonely Planet review

The modest museum at the Meteorological Signal Tower (外滩信号台; also called the Gutzlaff Signal Tower) only contains a small scattering of ground-floor historical photographs. Originally a wooden tower, this version was built in 1907 as a meteorological relay station set up by the tireless Shanghai Jesuits. The tower (外滩信号台; Wàitān Xìnhào Tái) was moved southeast by 22.4m in the mid 1990s.

Head up the staircase to the second floor where a bar has cashed in on the monuments' unique character and spot-on views from its terrace a further floor above.
