Wow your date with Shanghai’s most intoxicating nocturnal visuals from the outdoor terrace on the 58th floor of the Ritz-Carlton, where Flair nudges you that bit closer to the baubles of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. The chilled-out interior, designed by the firm Super Potato, is also very cool. Book well in advance for the terrace.
