KATHERINE IN CHINA Pt. 3
The view from the tallest observation deck in the world.
The Shanghai World Financial Center is now, at 1,614 feet, the third-tallest building in the world. But the observation deck is still tops. And it has a transparent glass floor, and I have to admit, my legs got a little shaky. The two buildings pictured are the Jin Mao and Oriental Pearl Towers, which were the tallest buildings in China until 2008, when the Financial Center was completed. Of course, when Shanghai Tower is completed in 2014, it’ll make all three seem squatty.
