Cloud Nine

Cloud Nine is a skyscraper in Shanghai's Changning District that rises 238 meters across 58 floors with a glass and steel structure. The building houses office spaces, retail shops, and multiple commercial levels serving shoppers and workers.

The building was designed and engineered by the Shanghai Institute of Architectural Design, opening in 2006 after five years of construction. This completion coincided with Shanghai's rise as a major global business center.

The Chinese name Long Zhi Meng means Dragon's Dream, blending traditional symbolism into its modern design. This naming reflects how local cultural values shape the identity of contemporary buildings in the city.

The building connects directly to Zhongshan Park Metro Station on lines 2, 3, and 4, making public transport convenient for visitors. Multiple ground-level entrances provide easy access to different areas within the complex.

A Renaissance Hotel operates within the building, adding lodging options to its office and retail functions. This integrated hotel component makes it a complete destination for business travelers and visitors.
