Tickets and booking
Four ticket options are listed, applying every day of the year. The base two-sphere sightseeing ticket costs 199 yuan for adults, 99 yuan for children and 119 yuan for seniors. Three combos build on it: two-sphere sightseeing plus the 351 Star Origin level (the tower’s highest) at 399 yuan for adults and 199 yuan for children; two-sphere sightseeing plus a Huangpu River cruise at 279 yuan for the first-class cabin; and two-sphere sightseeing plus the Landmark Park Fantasy World at 247 yuan for adults and 147 yuan for children.
Discount rules: children under 1 meter tall enter free; child tickets apply to visitors between 1 and 1.3 meters tall (both limits inclusive) or aged 6 or under; senior tickets apply to visitors aged 70 or above. The listing stresses that all prices are for reference only and subject to the site’s same-day disclosure, so travellers should confirm current rates on 021-58792888 or 021-58791888. No booking channels are specified in the listing, so purchase arrangements are best confirmed at the same time.
Entrance and routes
The tower stands at No. 1 Century Avenue in the Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and the listing notes the address is near Line 2’s Lujiazui Station. Two public transport approaches are documented. By metro, take Line 2 to Lujiazui Station. By bus, take route 82 or 314 to the Lujiazui Ring Road Fenghe Road stop, from which the tower is reachable on foot. The listing provides no driving directions or parking details, so travellers arriving by car or taxi should confirm drop-off and parking arrangements in advance. Both listed approaches are presented without preference; the choice depends on where in the city a traveller is starting from.
Photo spots
The in-tower vantage points are the two sightseeing spheres, included with every ticket type, and the 351 Star Origin level, which the listing identifies as the tower’s highest level and which requires the combo ticket. Travellers chasing the topmost angle need that add-on; the base ticket covers the two spheres.
At ground level, the tower’s position on Century Avenue in Lujiazui allows exterior shots from the surrounding street. The Huangpu River cruise combo pairs the tower visit with a first-class cabin sailing for travellers who want the river in the album. Hours run until 21:00 daily, so evening visits fit within the listed schedule; since no last-entry time is published, anyone planning night shots should arrive with comfortable margin before closing.
Timing and crowds
Standard hours are 09:00-21:00, Monday through Sunday, from January 1 to September 30 and from October 7 to December 31. For the October 1-6 window, opening shifts 30 minutes earlier to 08:30-21:00. The suggested visit duration is 1-3 hours.
The listing carries no crowd forecasts, peak-time data or last-entry time, so travellers should treat timing as something to verify on the day; the listed phone numbers, 021-58792888 and 021-58791888, are the channel for that. Anyone wanting the full 1-3 hour experience should plan to arrive well before the 21:00 close.
Walking and effort
This is an urban sightseeing stop, not a hike. The physical effort involved is the visit itself, with a suggested duration of 1-3 hours, plus the walk from the Lujiazui Ring Road Fenghe Road bus stop for those arriving on routes 82 or 314; the address is listed as near Line 2’s Lujiazui Station for metro arrivals. The listing includes no elevator, staircase or accessibility details, so travellers with mobility concerns should call 021-58792888 or 021-58791888 to confirm access arrangements before visiting.
Getting there
Two public transport options are listed. Metro Line 2 serves Lujiazui Station, and the tower’s address, No. 1 Century Avenue in the Pudong New Area, is explicitly noted as near that station. Alternatively, buses 82 and 314 stop at Lujiazui Ring Road Fenghe Road, from which the tower is reachable on foot. The listing gives no service frequencies, operating times or fares for either option, so travellers should check current schedules before setting out; the site’s phone numbers, 021-58792888 and 021-58791888, can be used to confirm details.
Cost breakdown
Base spend is the two-sphere sightseeing ticket: 199 yuan for adults, 99 yuan for children and 119 yuan for seniors, with free entry for children under 1 meter tall. Combos change the total: adding the 351 Star Origin level, the tower’s highest, brings the adult ticket to 399 yuan and the child ticket to 199 yuan; adding the Landmark Park Fantasy World brings them to 247 yuan and 147 yuan; adding the Huangpu River cruise is listed at 279 yuan for the first-class cabin, with no separate child or senior prices given for that option.
Transit fares are not included in the listing, so a full budget should add the cost of the metro or bus ride on top of the ticket. All prices are reference figures, subject to the site’s same-day disclosure, and can be confirmed on 021-58792888 or 021-58791888.
