| Description: |
Shanghai World Financial Center is a super tall skyscraper in
Pudong New Area, Shanghai. It is a mixed use skyscraper which
consists of offices, hotels, conference rooms, observation
decks, and shopping malls on the ground floors. On 14 September
2007 the skyscraper was topped out at 492.0 meters (1,614.2
feet) and became the second tallest building in the world; as
well as the tallest structure on mainland China, including Hong
Kong. The ground floor of Shanghai World Financial Center is a shopping mall and an elevator lobby with gyrating kaleidoscopes on the ceiling. On the upper floors are offices, conference rooms, hotel rooms, and observation decks. The building's most distinctive architectural feature is the aperture at the building peak, which has a trapezoidal shape resembling a bottle opener. It was originally a circular shape but was changed after the government of China objected, stating that the circular hole resembled the rising sun on the Japanese flag. |
