The view from the rooftop doesn't change much throughout the year, so visit any month!
Sunset into blue hour are perfect times to photograph the illuminated cityscape, which makes a nice contrast against the vibrant blue skies.
Field tips
Be careful when photographing from a rooftop.
A wide-angle lens (14mm) will allow you to frame the expansiveness of the cityscape, as well as the key buildings: Shanghai Tower, Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Shanghai World Financial Center.
Try framing both the Wusong River and Huangpu Rivers. You can also remain patient and see if a boat crosses along either river.
There are so many different perspectives to capture. Experiment with different lenses and focal lengths.
