Guilin was last place on our Chinese agenda. From there, we took a plane back to Shanghai. As we were going to Shanghai only for one night and the next morning we had a plane back to Europe, we booked a hotel in the airport. It was much more convenient than going only for one night to the center of Shanghai.
Upon arrival we left our luggage in the hotel and took a Maglev train. This high speed magnetic levitation train made our journey to the city center (located 70km away from the airport) much faster. At some point we changed into metro and we went to the Bund neighborhood. And from there we wanted to visit the last attraction of our Chinese trip - the Shanghai Tower.
We saw it already from a distance during our previous stay in Shanghai - difficult not to see it as with its 632 meters, it's the second highest building in the world - just after the Burj Khalifa. It has the world's highest observation deck and the world second fastest elevator.
When we arrived to the ticket office it was pretty late and there were no queues whatsoever. We quickly bought our tickets (which costed 180 yuan - around 23 euros) and headed to the 118th floor. On that floor, as well as on the 119th there was the observation deck for tourists.
The elevator brought us to the 118th floor in less than a minute! Incredibly fast!
The view from the tower was fantastic - Shanghai was beautifully illuminated at that time
