The tower was once the highest building in the city but now, although it's spire reaches higher than the Jinmao Building , it pales in insignificance compared to its mammoth neighbor.The design for the Tower incorporates eleven spheres (or "pearls") and three gigantic columns linking the green grass below to the blue sky above.

Xin Tian Di
|
Xin Tian Di will be your closest match to what Lan Kwai Fong is to Hong Kong . Indeed, this ambitious area was build by Hong Kong 's Shui On Group and contains stylish and expensive shops, pubs and restaurants. Prices for food generally start at RMB 200 but if you head into the 'mall' complex at Xin Tian Di south, you will find a McDonalds and a few medium-end restaurants where you can save your wallet from certain destruction.
The Shikumen houses have been renovated to suit modern tastes and do not resemble anything you will find in traditional Shikumen areas. Shanghai Xin Tian Di is where 'yesterday meets tomorrow in Shanghai today'. |
