Lykkers, are you ready for an adventure to the skies? Imagine being in one of the tallest buildings in China, feeling like you could almost touch the clouds.
Let's take a virtual trip together to the incredible Zifeng Tower and see what it's like to reach new heights!
Our first stop was the Zifeng Tower's Observation Deck, and wow, the views left us speechless. The tower, also known as the Nanjing Greenland Financial Center, stands proudly at 450 meters and offers panoramic views of the city below. As we gazed out over Nanjing, the urban sprawl, the winding Yangtze River, and the surrounding hills, it felt like we were on top of the world. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or just someone who loves breathtaking views, this is definitely an activity to add to your list.
The observation deck is open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with an entry fee of ¥150 per person. It's the perfect spot to catch the sunset and watch the city light up as night falls.
Next, we decided to experience the Zifeng Tower's high-speed elevators. Trust us, the ride is not for the faint of heart. The elevators shoot up to the observation deck in just about 40 seconds, making you feel like you're blasting off into the sky. For those looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush, the experience is not only quick but thrilling, and it'll definitely make you appreciate modern engineering in a whole new way.
The elevator service is included in the admission price, so once you purchase your ticket, you're all set for a smooth (yet speedy) ride to the top!
Before you set off to experience Zifeng Tower, here's some practical info we gathered to make your trip even smoother. First, make sure to bring an ID or passport when purchasing tickets, as some attractions in China require them. It's also a good idea to check the weather before your visit; clear skies make all the difference when enjoying the panoramic views from the observation deck. As for getting there, the tower is located in the Xinjiekou area of Nanjing, making it easily accessible by metro (Line 1, Xinjiekou Station).
Another thing to keep in mind is that Zifeng Tower can get crowded, especially on weekends and holidays, so try to visit during off-peak hours if you prefer a more relaxed experience.
When we got hungry, we decided to visit one of the tower's high-rise restaurants, which offers a variety of dining options with stunning views. The French restaurant on the 76th floor serves up a delightful selection of French and fusion dishes. It was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy some delicious food while soaking in the incredible cityscape. The restaurant's atmosphere was sophisticated but welcoming, making it a great spot for both a special occasion or a casual meal.
Dining here can be a bit pricey, but the experience of having a meal with a view is something we'll never forget. Reservations are recommended if you're planning to visit during peak dining hours.
Our trip to Zifeng Tower was definitely one for the books. Between the stunning views, the thrilling elevator ride, and the delicious food, it's a place we'll always recommend to our fellow Lykkers looking for an unforgettable experience. Whether you're traveling to Nanjing for a weekend getaway or just passing through, this skyscraper is an absolute must-see for anyone with a love for stunning cityscapes and modern architecture.
So, Lykkers, are you ready to experience the world from a whole new perspective? Trust us, you won't regret visiting Zifeng Tower!
