Shanghai Tower: route to the observatory at Lujiazui

Use the published Lujiazui address, then confirm live observatory access before making a special trip.

Shanghai’s municipal visitor page places Shanghai Tower at No 479 Lujiazui Ring Road in Pudong New Area and identifies the Top of Shanghai Observatory on the 118th floor. Save the specific tower address for routing, then check the operator’s current entry, ticket and operating arrangements before travel.

A clear next step

  1. Save 上海中心大厦 and No 479 Lujiazui Ring Road, Pudong New Area as your map or ride-hailing destination.
  2. Plan around the Top of Shanghai Observatory rather than treating the full tower as a single unrestricted visitor space.
  3. Check the current official tower channel for observatory entry, ticketing and operating arrangements before leaving.
