From the glass-walled express lift of Shanghai Tower, Shanghai unspools beneath—ribbons of highway, the Huangpu River, and a skyline that keeps insisting on reshaping itself. The tower’s 118th-floor observation deck gives a bird’s-eye clarity: streets shrink, cranes become punctuation, and the East China Sea waits on the horizon.

Donghai Bridge was China’s first major sea-crossing bridge and Yangshan port was built to solve draft limitations at the older Port of Shanghai by creating deeper berths offshore.
