Jin Mao Tower

The Jin Mao tower is the 4th tallest building in the world, with 88 floors. Grand Hyatt Shanghai occupies floors 53-87. We spent our final evening in China on the Observatory deck where there was a fabulous view of Shanghai. We timed our visit just before dusk, so we could catch both daytime and evening views. By day the view wasn’t the best, the skyline was just covered with the smog from the polluted city below.
However it was stunning by night when the entire city was lit up. We also spent some time writing and sending postcards to friends and relatives as on the 88th floor resides the worlds tallest post office.
The highlight of our visit has to be the authentic pearl we both were given at the top, watched it being prised open out of a clam and everything. This has to be the best souvenir received from all the countries visited so far.
