大桥大楼

The Shanghai Tower is a modern skyscraper in Lujiazui Financial District with a twisted glass facade that encloses nine cylindrical structures stacked vertically within. The building contains 128 floors served by high-speed elevators that transport thousands of people daily through its vertical spaces.

Construction of this building began in November 2008 and was completed in 2014, marking a new phase in Shanghai's development. This project became part of the financial district's major expansion during that period.

Inside, there are public gathering spaces and gardens distributed across several levels that reflect traditional Chinese design principles. These areas allow visitors to experience a connection to classical architecture while surrounded by modern commerce.

The building features high-speed elevators that efficiently reach different levels, allowing visitors to easily access observation decks and public spaces. Coming during daytime hours provides better access to all areas and often means fewer crowds.

The top of the structure holds wind turbines that generate supplemental power for the building's operations. These hidden features show how the design goes beyond its exterior form to operate more efficiently.
