Oriental Pearl Tv Tower
Love it or hate it, this 468m-tall bauble-adorned tripod has become a symbol of Pudong and the Shanghai renaissance. Join the queue for high-altitude views or head to the basement to visit the highly recommended Shanghai History Museum.

Tomorrow Square
This stupendous tower – designed by John Portman & Associates and completed in 2003 – seizes the Shànghǎi zeitgeist with dramatic aplomb. Resembling a sci-fi corporation headquarters, the stratospheric building is given further lift by the stylistic awkwardness of nearby rivals: chiefly the Radisson Hotel Shanghai New World, which looks like a gigantic UFO has swivelled down from the sky to screw itself onto its roof. Tomorrow Sq houses Shànghǎi’s highest serviced apartments while the foyer of the JW Marriott Tomorrow Square debuts on the 38th floor. Pop up to put People’s Sq in the proper perspective.

Jinmao Tower
Rising above the clouds, the splendid Jinmao stands beside the shimmering Shanghai World Financial Center like an art-deco pagoda. Shoot to the 88th-floor observation deck to put Shanghai in a splendid nutshell. Time your visit at dusk for both day and night views. Alternatively, sample the same view through the carbonated fizz of a gin and tonic at Cloud 9.
