Looming above you like a sci-fi control tower a short walk from the Lujiazui metro station is the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, one of Lujiazui’s most opinion-dividing edifices. Make sure you take a walk around the circular overhead walkway above the main intersection south of the tower, especially at night. Inside the tower, the absorbing Shanghai History Museum on the basement level is worth exploration.

Walk up Fenghe Rd past the Natural Wild Insect Kingdom on your right and turn left onto Riverside Park to reach a section of the Riverside Promenade for glorious images of the Bund across the water.

Follow a further stretch of the Riverside Promenade before cutting through Riverside Park and exiting onto Fucheng Rd by the Citigroup Building. Note the dramatic V-form of Tower Two of the Pudong Shangri-La hotel.

Immediately after the Citigroup Building, turn onto Huayuanshiqiao Rd to walk past the twin towers of the IFC (International Financial Centre) on your left; you will see the vast new Shanghai Tower on your right (under construction at the time of writing) before reaching the magnificent Jinmao Tower. You’re spoiled for high-altitude views – you can either rocket to the 88th-floor observation deck here or cross the street to the world’s second-highest observation deck (100th floor) in the Shanghai World Financial Center (Click here), which virtually blots out the sun. Head up to the observation deck or the bar 100 Century Avenue in the Park Hyatt. To return to metro line 2, the Lujiazui metro stop is a short walk west along Century Ave.
