I didn't expect to like Shanghai as much as I did. I guess the thrilling Disneyland adventure and view of the metropolitan city from a high point changed my impression of this busy concrete city.
Not for the fainted-heart, the travel all the way up to 88th floor of Jin Mao building, one of the tallest buildings in China.
Before we went to the observation deck, we challenged ourselves to take shot of the 3 tall buildings together. Trick?? Selfie mode looking up.
After all the photo taking, we were ushered into the Jin Mao tower to take the lift. Alas, the long queues to the lift was challenging and painful. Many people especially Chinese tourists. They either cut queues or kept pushing and squeezing you around.
Thankfully we did not endured the queue for so long as our tour group was given access to the lift even before our turn. Probably because our group was smaller so we were to grant access to the deck.
The view on top was worth all the queue. Of course we were warned first hand of invisibility.
The trip in the lift was a great experience itself. All the way up to 88th floor in less than a minute! That was one thing!! The pressure in the ears was another thing, felt like you were climbing up a very high mountain.
We didn't spent a long time on 88th floor as each group was given time for visitation.
Foggy view from the top, everything looked blurry. But the buildings along the river scene was spectacular, I thought.

Another tall building next to Jin Mao, I believe it was Shanghai World Financial Centre
