Yes, it should be a temporary braced scaffolding for the wide upper bridge (~80m!). I was wondering how it will be built... so here's an answer :)

gudalemandele, the average price per square meter in those buildings reach a staggering 110 thousand RMB (13,604 US dollars).

Chemist, that is indeed the building you're thinking of. It's called the Shimao Tower or its more commonly known name, Le Royal Meridien Hotel. It is by far the most slept on building in Shanghai. No one seems to know about the three story lounge/bar called 789 that occupies the 64 ,65, 66 floor. It offers, without a doubt, the best 360 degree view of the city.

Here's a picture I took of it yesterday

I just got back from a couple weeks holiday in China and the last few days we were in Shanghai, went up the Jin Mao tower on the 13th and was really impressed. The observation deck was on floor 88 at 340m, and the elevator took only 45 seconds to get to the top!

Only thing that impressed me more than the Jin mao was the enourmous SWFC next to it:

The one on the very top of this page is awesome. Even though this will be taller, the Jin Mao will still be the best in Shanghai. The WFC will be a nice tower though.

Yeah, I think the Jin Mao is an underrated skyscraper, the design is so complicated.

Jin Mao represents a more classic approach. SWFC is a cleaned up modern look. Both are beautiful but in the end for me that is I like SWFC. It will be the preimier building of the city. Can't wait until it is opened up to the public and photos are taken from the top.

BTW, are there going to be glass elevators in SWFC?

I think that the corners elevators going straight up to the top will give some sight through the windows :)

very nice pictures Skymyhusband. Wonder if anybody knows if the fire a few days ago had delayed construction on this one at all or is it still going ahead as planed?

Anton or Giallo, a shot from here once the new zone towers are done would look amazing. Esp on a clear day.
