Midday shot of the two tallest towers in Shanghai

Day scenes of Shanghai

The nearer tower has the Hyatt Regency Hotel in it - the lobby STARTS at the 54th floor!
The tower with the hole in the top is now the tallest building in Shanghai (for now). It is owned by a Japanese company and was originally intended to be pointed at the top and shaped like a sword. The image of a huge Japanese sword looming over Shanghai didn`t go down with the locals and they objected. The building was modified.
