This shot of Shanghai World Financial Center, the 2nd tallest building in shanghai, was done from the roof top of Jin Mao Tower.

Completed in 2008, this 492m tower in Shanghai is now the 11th tallest in the world. Designed by the American architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox, it features a distinctive trapezoidal hole at the top – hence its nickname, the bottle opener. To make the most of the views, stay at the five-star Park Hyatt Shanghai, which covers the 79th to 93rd floors. Alternatively, visit the observation deck on the 94th floor at 423m. The deck on the penultimate 100th storey features a glass floor.
