Checked in at the Portman Ritz-Carlton Hotel and were able to go straight to our room (actually straight for breakfast!). After a few hours kip we took a taxi to the World Finance Centre Observatory Tower - known as the Shanghi Eye. Towering on the skyline at 474 metres above sea level - this is the world's highest observatory (but not the highest tower - that is in Dubai!). It gave us amazing views of the Shanghai vista and the Huangpu river.
After eating in a local restaurant we took a stroll towards the river taking in the amazing views of Shanghai at night. The views across to the Bund were stunning and the buildings looked more amazing then ever performing their light shows.
We felt very safe walking around the city - just one minor altication with a taxi driver who asked us to leave his taxi in the middle of the highway as we did not agree with the crazy price he was charging!Read more
