The main purpose of our trip was the tallest building in the world, the Shanghai Tower, which is now under construction at the moment of its height with jib crane reaches just over 650 meters, making the construction of the second tower tallest in the world after the Burj Khalifa in the UAE.

Knowing about a very hard law in China, we have carefully prepared and selected a suitable date, the Chinese New Year. At the time that the security was less vigilant, workers were missing and taps were not working. Made their way to the tap we about midnight, almost 2 hours raised to 120 floors on foot and slept almost 18 hours at a construction site in anticipation of good weather.
