Shanghai Climb

This is where I was yesterday, standing on top of the Lupu Bridge, which spans the Huangpu River and connects the east and west sides of Shanghai. At the time it was built in 2003, it was the longest arch bridge in the world.

Visitors to the "Shanghai Climb" (as the attraction is called) take an elevator from ground/river level up to the road level of the bridge. From there, you can climb the 367 steps along the arch to a viewing platform at the very top, 110 meters above the river, allowing for a 360 degree, panoramic view of the city.
