Jin Mao Tower street view
Made by Pedro Hora
The Jin Mao Tower (simplified Chinese: 金茂大厦; traditional Chinese: 金茂大廈; pinyin: Jīn Mào Dàshà; literally Golden Prosperity Building) is an 88-story landmark supertall skyscraper in the Lujiazui area of the Pudong district of Shanghai, People's Republic of China. It contains offices and the Shanghai Grand Hyatt hotel. Until 2007 it was the tallest building in the PRC, the fifth tallest in the world by roof height and the seventh tallest by pinnacle height. Along with the Oriental Pearl Tower, it is a centerpiece of the Pudong skyline. Its height was surpassed on September 14, 2007 by the Shanghai World Financial Center which is next to the building. The Shanghai Tower, a 128-story building located next to these two buildings and now under construction, will be even taller. The building is located on a 24 000 m² plot of land near the Lujiazui metro station and was built at an estimated cost of 530 million USD. It was designed by the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Its postmodern form, whose complexity rises as it ascends, draws on traditional Chinese architecture such as the tiered pagoda, gently stepping back to create a rhythmic pattern as it rises. Like the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, the building's proportions revolve around the number 8, associated with prosperity in Chinese culture. The 88 floors (93 if the spire floors are counted) are divided into 16 segments, each of which is 1/8th shorter than the 16-storey base. The tower is built around an octagon-shaped concrete shear wall core surrounded by 8 exterior composite supercolumns and 8 exterior steel columns. Three sets of 8 two-story high outrigger trusses connect the columns to the core at six of the floors to provide additional support. The foundations rest on 1,062 high-capacity steel piles driven 83.5 m deep in the ground to compensate for poor upper-strata soil conditions. At the time those were the longest steel piles ever used in a land-based building. The piles are capped by a 4 m-thick concrete raft 19.6 m underground. The basement's surrounding slurry wall is 1 m thick, 36 m high and 568 m long, and composed of 20,500 m³ of reinforced concrete. The building employs an advanced structural engineering system of wind and earthquake engineering which fortify it against typhoon winds of up to 200 km/h (with the top swaying by a maximum of 75 cm) and earthquakes of up to 7 on the Richter scale. The steel shafts have shear joints that act as shock absorbers to cushion the lateral forces imposed by winds and quakes, and the swimming pool on the 57th floor is said to act as a passive damper. The exterior curtain wall is made of glass, stainless steel, aluminium, and granite, and is criss-crossed by complex latticework cladding made of aluminum alloy pipes. Official dedication was August 28, 1998, a date also chosen with the number 8 in mind. The building was fully operational in 1999. The Jin Mao Tower is owned by the China Jin Mao Group Co. Ltd (formerly China Shanghai Foreign Trade Centre Co. Ltd). It reportedly has a daily maintenance cost of 1 million RMB (US$121,000). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_Mao_Tower


Jin Mao Tower 01
Made by RMEIKLEJ
With 88 stories reaching a height of 420.5 meters and 290,000 square meter construction area, Jin Mao Tower, which literally means Gold Luxuriance Building in Chinese, is a perfect combination of traditional Chinese architectural style and the world's modern architectural technology. The first two floors are a capacious and bright lobby. From the third to the 50th floor are spacious offices, which are open-plan (column-free) with a floor-to-floor height of 4 meters and a floor-to-ceiling height of 2.7m. The 51st and 52nd floors are mechanical rooms. The Grand Hyatt Shanghai hotel occupies floors from 53 to 87. It's the world's tallest five-star hotel in terms of distance from the ground, which boasts a 152m barrel-vaulted atrium that is lined with 28 annular well-illuminated corridors and staircases arrayed in a spiral. The 88th floor houses the Skywalk, a 1,520-square-meter indoor observation deck, which is the tallest and biggest one of its kind in the Chinese mainland. It offers a panoramic view of Shanghai and a topside view of the hotel atrium below. The podium building is adjacent to the tower, which is designed as J·LIFE, a center for recreation and fashion. Jin Mao Concert Hall, located on the ground floor of the podium building becomes another venue for people to enjoy the performance of fine art at Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone. The tower exterior employs an advanced glass curtain wall, which is crisscrossed by complex latticework cladding to remove the light pollution. Its fire and life systems are different from many other skyscrapers for their design to allow people to rescue themselves rather than waiting for others to come to their rescue. The building is also equipped with an excellent vertical transport system, with features like less than 35-second time for people to wait for an elevator and direct access to the office sections, etc. Its intelligent systems manage all functions and sections, and there is Internet access to every office desk and guest room. All functional equipments and facilities in the building are most advanced, making it a milestone in architectural history.

Pudong
Made by MadGrin
Pudong Pudong (simplified Chinese: 浦东; traditional Chinese: 浦東; pinyin: Pǔdōng), officially known as Pudong New Area (simplified Chinese: 浦东新区; traditional Chinese: 浦東新區; pinyin: Pǔdōng Xīn Qū), is a district of Shanghai, China that enjoys sub-provincial administrative status. It is named Pudong because of its location on the east side of the Huangpu river, on the opposite of Puxi, the west side. After its merger with Nanhui District (now defunct) in May 2009, the Pudong New Area comprises the majority of land in eastern Shanghai. Since the beginning of its development in 1990 when plans were first announced, Pudong has become a New Open Economic Development Zone, and has emerged as China's financial and commercial hub. Pudong is home to the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and a skyline that includes the symbolic Oriental Pearl Tower, the Jin Mao Building, the Shanghai World Financial Center and the under-construction Shanghai Tower, reflective of Shanghai and China's rapid economic development. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudong Pudong (浦东, pinyin: Pǔdōng), noto ufficialmente come Pudong New Area (浦东新区, pinyin: Pǔdōng Xīn Qū), è un distretto della città cinese di Shanghai. Sta conoscendo, negli ultimi anni, una profonda revisione urbanistica che prevede nel suo master-plan la costruzione di altissimi grattacieli come espressione dello sviluppo economico cinese. Fra questi si possono elencare: la Jin Mao Tower (420,6 m con 88 piani), la torre della televisione di Shangai chiamata Perla d'oriente (468 metri) e lo Shanghai World Financial Center (492 m circa) finito nel 2008 ed attualmente il terzo grattacielo più alto del mondo. Pudong alla lettera significa ad est del fiume Hangpu. it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudong

Often when ordering coffee, in China, you'll receive espresso. No complaints here : ) Three course prix fixe lunch and beverages for two= $410RMB. Jon and I each started with deep fried risotto balls with rucola and balsamic vinaigrette. Jon's entree was the beef sirloin with spinach and cherry tomatoes. I opted to have the garganelli pasta with mushrooms, ham, and cream sauce. And we both finished the meal with coffee (which was actually espresso) and and almond tart with baked apricots.

Shanghai Towers
Made by Chimay Bleue
Two of the tallest towers in the world are side-by-side. Jin Mao Tower (foreground, on the right) Architect: Adrian Smith/SOM (1993-99) Location: Pudong, Shanghai, China Height: 421 m (1,381 ft) 88 floors, with the Grand Hyatt occupying the top portion. I stayed here. It's the 5th tallest building in the world. Next door, on the left here, we have the Shanghai World Financial Center Architects: Kohn Pedersen Fox (1997-2008) Location: Pudong, Shanghai, China Height: 494.4 m (1,622.0 ft) 101 floors. There's a Park Hyatt on the top of this one. Perspective doesn't show just how tall this building is. It's currently the tallest building in China. It annoys them that Taipei 101 is actually taller. I think that's why they've decided to build an even taller building directly across the street from this one. Called the Shanghai Tower, that is expected to be completed in 2014. It will be the tallest building in the world, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

The lowest segment has 16 stories, and each succeeding segment is 1/8 smaller than the one below.
