Skip the ticket — this coffee comes with a 91st-floor view ☕🏙️

➡️Want to see Shanghai from above without paying for an observation deck ticket? I found the perfect hidden gem — and all it takes is a coffee. ➡️Tucked on the 91st floor of the SWFC (aka the “bottle opener” building), there’s a quiet café/restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows and absolutely stunning views of the city skyline. No crowds, no lineups — just grab a drink, sit by the window, and soak in the view. Why you'll love it: ✅ Unreal views over Lujiazui, the Bund & Huangpu River ✅ You’re literally above the clouds — no ticket needed ✅ Just order coffee or dessert and stay as long as you like ✅ A peaceful alternative to packed tourist platforms I came up for a quick break and stayed way longer than planned — it’s just that peaceful and beautiful. Day or night, this place feels like a secret retreat above the chaos of the city. 📌 Tip: Elevator to the 91st floor is inside the Shanghai World Financial Center. Head toward the Park Hyatt entrance and ask for the restaurant/café upstairs — they’ll direct you up! #shanghai #shanghaiviews #shanghaitrip #china #coffeewithaview
