A 420.5 m skyscraper in Lujiazui, Pudong, fully opened in 1999 to a design by the American firm SOM that draws on the tiered Chinese pagoda: its steel-and-glass shaft steps back in stages built around eight, the lucky number in China, with 88 floors in 16 segments. It stands beside the Shanghai World Financial Center and Shanghai Tower, and the Grand Hyatt hotel fills its upper floors from the 53rd. The 88th-floor observation deck looks across the Huangpu River to the Bund and down into the hotel's soaring round atrium, while the Skywalk lets visitors, clipped to safety lines, walk around the outside edge of the building high above the city. Deck tickets are CNY 120 and the Skywalk with the deck CNY 288; it is open from 8.30 am to 9.30 pm, last entry 9 pm, per visitor guides.
