A shot of the famous skyline of Pudong's Lujiazui financial district, just before the decorative lights are turned off.

 

And again sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete - I had to omit some tags, and because the 浦东 causes flickr's tag parser to create gibberish it is placed at the end of the list.

Roppongi Hills' Mori Tower. This 54 storey high skyscraper is probably the most famous building in Roppongi - finished in 2003. It is now the home to shops, offices, an art museum and restaurants, and quite the landmark.

The only group of three supertalls, at night.

 

Taken from the intersection of Lujiazui Ring Road (陆家嘴环路) and Dongtai Road (东泰路).

Another one from 2018, BW conversion this time.

 

Revisited this place for the umpteenth time...

 

The world famous lobby view in the Grand Hyatt Shanghai, located in the Jin Mao Tower. Shot from the 85th floor - at the "bottom" is the Patio Lounge, located on the 56th floor - and above is the observation deck on the 88th floor.

A part of the skyline of Pudong reflected in the quiet waters of Suzhou Creek.

That red brick building just right of center is a reconstruction of the former Shanghai Rowing Club building from colonial times - here is a night shot of that building with additional info, taken a couple years earlier.

The Burj Khalifa (برج خليفة ), with a total height of 829.8 m currently the tallest building in the world - seen here flanked by apparently equally tall palm trees.... :-)

 

Rem.: Couple years ago I uploaded a photo that was taken just seconds before this one - but at that time uploaded with no PP.

The twin towers of the IFC complex in Shanghai Pudong. Left is 2IFC, the right tower is the "new" HSBC Tower (the former HSBC Tower is now occupied by the Hang Seng Bank). The lower parts are occupied by the IFC Mall - and an underground Apple store.

 

The "IFC" name and the style of the letters are same as Hong Kong's IFC - because it's the same Hong Kong based investor.

 

Between the two IFC towers the Shanghai Center peeks through.

 

Taken from the footbridge at the big Lujiazui roundabout.

No, these are not the skeletonized remains of some cooling tower - this is actually a piece of art, named "Mae West", after the actress.

 

The 52 m tall sculpture designed by Rita McBride was built from Oct. 2010 to Jan. 2011, the material is CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer).

 

In the right background is the 113.7 m tall HVB Tower, one of the better looking modern buildings in Munich, completed already in 1981.

Another of these... - view towards north from the observation deck of the new Shanghai Tower, currently the tallest building in Shanghai and the second tallest in the world.

 

The two dominant buildings in the foreground are Jin Mao Tower (420m) left and the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC, 492m) right.

 

In the far distance is the Yangpu Bridge.

The "Pearl of the Orient" TV tower and the surrounding skyscrapers in the Lujiazui financial district as seen from the Garden Bridge (外白渡桥).

 

As this was taken just past 10 PM most lights on the Pudong side are already switched off, this makes the Pearl Tower stand out even more.

 

The white "column" on the right behind the bridge truss is the "Shanghai Monument to the People's Heroes" (上海市人民英雄纪念塔) usually shortly called "Heroes Memorial". A concrete structure of three columns in the stylized form of three rifles leaned against each other. Here this monument is seen from below.

Roppongi Hills' Mori Tower. This 54 storey high skyscraper is probably the most famous building in Roppongi - finished in 2003. It is now the home to shops, offices, an art museum and restaurants, and quite the landmark.

This is a view from the famous Victoria Peak towards buildings in Wanchai. The more common shot taken from the Peak is the "Ocean of Lights" wide view....

 

The prominent skyscraper is "Central Plaza" (中環廣場) and has long been the tallest building in Hong Kong before the taller 2IFC (國際金融中心二期) was built, which itself was surpassed in 2010 with topping out of the ICC (環球貿易廣場) on the Kowloon side.

 

During my time in that area I did have an office in Central Plaza.

 

A find very deep in my archives.

Shanghai IFC and the Shanghai Tower. Taken about an hour after the previous Shanghai upload, took so long changing location that in the meanwhile the lights went off...
