Custom House, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai Tower view from Shenhua Finance Building

This photograph features the Custom House and Shanghai's iconic skyscrapers. You can fly your drone from outside of the Shenhua Finance Building and compose your image facing east. By Metro: - Closest Station: Nanjing East Road (Lines 2 & 10) - Take Exit "6" - Turn right on Ningbo Rd Address: Shenhua Finance Building, 1 Ningbo Road Shanghai, 200002

All months of the year are suitable to photograph these iconic landmarks.

Visit at night for a stark contrast between the dark sky and brightly lit buildings. Sunset's vibrant colors are also great to photograph.

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements.

I chose to frame the Custom House in a way that split my image. Fly around to find your own unique perspective.

Flying up and down to different heights will give your composition very different looks — get creative!
