Magnolia Deck: A 320-Metre Open Roof on the North Bund, Lujiazui Opposite

The address is one line: 501 Dongdaming Road

Magnolia Plaza is on the North Bund in Hongkou, not at Wujiaochang. Metro Line 12, International Cruise Terminal, Exit 3, then basement one, then the lift to the old helipad. It opened to the public on 15 April 2025. The Hongkou government gives the height as 320 metres, open air. Opposite you is Lujiazui: Shanghai Tower, the World Financial Center, the Oriental Pearl, and the river with its boats. There is a stage on the deck. The album shows an opera performer standing there, those towers behind, with lights and fog at their feet. The ticket text also mentions a DJ. Drinks are not included. If a glass appears in a photo, you paid for it yourself. There is no guide on site.

How is this different from Shanghai Tower?

Wie wählt man zwischen der Shanghai Tower Viewing Hall und dem Oriental Pearl Tower Observation Deck aus?

Das Shanghai Tower befindet sich im Osten des Huangpu-Flusses (Pudong) und ist 118 Stockwerke und 546 Meter hoch – es wird durch Glas getrennt. Dieses befindet sich auf dem Dach eines Gebäudes im Westen (Puxi) in 320 Meter Höhe, im Freien; der Tower liegt direkt vor dir. Beide Tickets gelten nicht für dieselbe Veranstaltung.
