Shanghai's " bottle opener'' skyscraper--the World Financal Center ,is the third-tallest building in the world surpassed by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Taipei 101 in Taipei.

It has 101 floors and stands 492 (1,614 feet) meters hight . he US$1 Billion building opened in August 2008.Among its 101 floors, 70 are dedicated to offices , 14 to hotel space, and the rest to entertainments and observation decks.

The 3 observation decks  are the Sky Arena on the 94th floor - a lounge with a bar and spectacular sights,the Sky Walk on the 97th floor- a long walkway painted white, and the Sky Walk 100-the ultimate viewing platform on the 100th floor at the bottom od the trapezoid.

Local people honor the Huangpu as Mother River, and as you view the lights and spectacle from the deck of your evening cruise, you will understand why.

The House of Blues and Jazz is located on the illustrious Mao Ming Rd, site of the former expat bar hub in Shanghai.  Since Mao Ming was essentially shut down in 2004, the bars that still remain open are a little downtrodden and fairly empty. However, the House of Jazz and Blues defies the new standard, as it manages to attract an impressive crowd of upscale, yet low key music lovers. Be wary of the beggars that still hang out around Mao Ming Lu. Their 3 year old children follow you around for blocks in desperation.
 
From the moment you lay your eyes upon the exterior of the House of Blues and Jazz, you’ll likely feel as if you’ve stumbled upon a secret club in Memphis, Tennessee – the heart of the blues tradition. Set in a modest gray stucco building, the large doors with small letters stating “House of Blues and Jazz” provide the only clue to what lies inside.  While the interior is decked out with warm wood and leather furniture, it is still simple. It remains obvious that the main embellishment is meant to be the music. The acoustics are great, and the music is not overwhelmingly noisy, but loud enough to allow the musicians to truly strut their stuff.  
   
The musicians are a mix of foreign and Chinese guests and locals.  The busiest nights usually take place when groups from abroad make a visit. I highly recommend reserving a table for these nights – check with your hotel.  Note that the venue can become extremely packed. Unless you like being pushed by patrons heading for the bar, the standing area is nothing to speak of. One time I simply had to leave for this reason, it was driving me crazy.  Depending on the night’s lineup, there might be a “hidden” cover charge. The charge won’t be at the door, it will be included with your first drink, which is usually 80RMB. Afterwards prices drop to about half of that.
 
While the music is comparable at both spots, the House of Blues and Jazz definitely exudes a different feel than the Cotton Club. It is certainly a little less swanky, slightly less claustrophobic, and less filled with cigarette smoke, if that’s a concern.

Ahhh… the infamous Windows… Ask just about anyone who has lived in Shanghai for more than a month, and they will undoubtedly know something about Windows, even if they’ve never been there.  Windows is THAT bar in college that required a certain mood in order to go to, but when the mood struck, it always made for a a fantastic evening.  
 
The original Windows still stands on Mao Ming Road, the former heart of expat nightlife. When the government “shut down” the wild nights on Mao Ming Road most of the bars opened second locations on Tongren Road near the Ritz Carlton on Nanjing Road.  Windows Too opted for a new location, however, that gave them more a little more room to support the throngs of young people seeking CHEAP drinks and a raging party.  Despite the club’s spacious interior, there is rarely a night when there is room to breathe.  My best advice is to head for the bar and take advantage of the cheap drinks. It should make the atmosphere much less claustrophobic, and the crowd much more entertaining.
 
On weekends there is usually a 30 RMB cover charge, which includes a couple of free drink tickets. The tickets are worth 10 RMB, which is conveniently the price of just about every drink at the bar.  It would be difficult to find a better deal anywhere else in Shanghai.  The crowd is a mix of foreigners and locals. While most people aren’t here looking for the love of their life, there will certainly be plenty of choices of dance partners for the evening.  Wear whatever clothing you won’t mind having beer and liquor spilt all over. Have fun!
 
How to get there:  Take Metro Line 2 to Jingan Temple Station.  Windows is inside the plaza right at the station.

Summer on the Bund is there to break all the Bund rules. It is a rooftop terrace with a great view all around since it is located in a park. The drinks are very affordable with beers starting from 25 rmb and a lot of other drink promotions. During the world cup we will have a big ass screen where you can watch all the matches!!! we will also have a beer bucket deal going during the games fo the guys that don't want to get up. We will also be serving snacks and full meals, japanse and western. Hope to see you at our bar. Tom Sam

It's a stones trow away from the Bund walk way to the south. If you walk it down and cross the street before passing the glass boathouse it will be right in front of you. otherwise just ask the taxi driver to bring you to Renmin lu, Fuyou lu. coming from Fuyou lu it will be on your left side. about 2 min walk.
