The tower has fifteen observatory levels. The highest (known as the Space Module) is at 350m. The lower levels are at 263m (Sightseeing Floor) and at 90m (Space City). There is a revolving restaurant at the 267m level. It also contains exhibition facilities, restaurants and a shopping mall.

The Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is a public aquarium located in Shanghai. It is home to an Oranda goldfish named Bruce which measures 43.507 cm from snout to tail fin! Bruce was named after Bruce Lee.

The Shanghai Ocean aquarium also has the longest underwater tunnel in the world. Your fascinating "round the world" underwater journey begins from the Yangtze River in China, then on to the mysterious flooded forest of the Amazon in South America. Next you will find yourselves at the mangroves and billabongs of Australia. You will then meander through the rivers of Africa before arriving at the rainforests of Southeast Asia. Brave the cold as you go through the icy waters of the Antarctic. The last leg of your journey will take you from the sandy shores to the depths of the ocean.

Pudong's answer to the Bund, this strip of green along the east bank of the Huangpu River offers a fine view of the Bund at a distance. After dark, when the Bund's buildings are lit up and beacon lights sweep the river lanes, the view is one of the best in Shanghai.

The Riverside Promenade also affords marvelous views of Pudong's skyscrapers, and the Shanghai International Convention Center and its twin globes. Extending from Dongchang Lu and the river ferry terminal in the south to Taidong Lu in the north, the 2.5km-long promenade consists of manicured lawns, flower beds, and a bRd. walkway dotted with kiosks.
