Shanghai World Financial Center

On Dec. 24 we went up to the top of the World Financial Center which is 492 meters high or 1,614 feet high. The World Trade Towers in NYC were 417 meters high or 1,362 feet. The building on the left with the hole in the top is the SWFC, Shanghai World Financial Center. The building on the right is the Jin Mao Tower, the Grand Hyatt Hotel is located inside on the 53 through 57 floors, or something like that.

Here we are in the observation deck on the top floor, you can that looks down through the hole in the building.

We also went to the Jade Buddha Temple and the YuYuan Gardens. Here are a few pictures.


You are not allowed to take pictures of the actual Jade Buddha, bad Karma or something but here are pictures of the outside temples and a happy Buddha.




















































We also has a little lunch, which was quite yummy at the YuYuan Gardens.
