435 Meters

This is the sign in the elevator in the World Financial Center in Shanghai, China. I’m taking a ride to the 100th floor observation platform which is supposed to be the world’s highest observatory. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. I know it’s high up there and I paid $25 for a really bad view of Shanghai due to the haze that covered the city on the day I was in the tower to get a good view of the city. Had I known how disappointing the view would be I wouldn’t have gone up. Then again, how often does a person have a chance to go to the highest public observation point from a building in the world?
