Iconic Shanghai landmarks illuminated to mark the New Year
Shanghai, the city that never sleeps, lit up the night to welcome the New Year.
Shanghai Tower, the world's second tallest building, enjoys an enviable position overlooking the city's skyline, allowing people to experience the best of the night glamour of the two banks of the Huangpu River.
Inside the building, brand new light displays were debuted at SKY 632, a new art space on the 126th floor, where the world's heaviest damper, with a weight of 1,000 tons, is downstairs to withstand typhoons.
A spectacular light show debuts at Shanghai Tower.
Colorful light displays illuminate the art installation, in the style of a giant eye, right above the damper, accompanied by holographics and sound effects. Every show is unique as light and music change with the swaying of the damper, according to chief designer Sha Xiaolan.
The show officially opens to the public today. Go to official WeChat account of Shanghai Tower (TopofShanghai) to buy tickets, priced at 268 yuan (US$42) for an adult.
