Will visited the MSFT office located above this ultra modern mall

Shanghai World Financial Center (WFC) on the left, Jin Mao Tower on the right.
The Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower
The original plans for the WFC called for a 46 meter (151 foot) circular opening that would reduce wind pressure and also suggest Chinese symbolism for the moon. Many people protested that the design resembled the rising sun on the Japanese flag. Eventually the opening was changed from circular to a trapezoid shape.
Inside Jin Mao Tower
Jin Mao Tower was designed around the number eight. Shaped like a Chinese pagoda, the Jin Mao Building is divided into segments. The lowest segment has 16 stories, and each succeeding segment is 1/8 smaller than the one below.
On the last day of our trip, the sky finally cleared and we actually have a beautiful view from our room
