More Information

Is the glass walkway included in the standard ticket, or do I have to pay extra for it?

It's included. The 259m outdoor glass walkway is part of the standard ticket — you don't need to pay extra or upgrade. Shoe covers are also provided at no additional cost. This is a common point of confusion because some other towers around the world charge separately for glass-floor access, so it's worth knowing that here, it's simply part of the visit.

How long should I plan for a tower-only visit?

Most visitors spend about 2 to 3 hours inside the tower. Here's a rough breakdown: 30–40 minutes on the observation decks (263m and the glass walkway), 20 minutes for the lower sphere and multimedia show, and about 1 to 1.5 hours for the history museum if you take your time. The museum tends to be the part where people linger longer than expected — it's surprisingly immersive. If you're in a rush, you can focus on the observation levels and skip the museum in about 1 hour.

The Shanghai Municipal History Museum is included — do I need to understand Chinese to enjoy it?

Not at all. The museum features life-size 1920s street scenes, wax figures, and over 1,000 artifacts, most of which are visual and self-explanatory. You'll walk through recreations of old Shanghai lanes, shops, and residences that tell the city's story without relying heavily on text. Even without reading any Chinese labels, you'll get a strong sense of how Shanghai evolved from a fishing village into a global city. Many foreign visitors say it's unexpectedly one of the best parts of the tower.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories. Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic! Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale. For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
