When to go
Best time
Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
As long as it's a sunny day, you can find similar conditions year round for a view of the Shanghai World Financial Center, Jin Mao Tower and Shanghai Tower.
I took the photo in the late-afternoon, but you can also come in the morning and mid-day to capture the daytime light.
Field tips
Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements. Flying a drone here is not illegal here, but the guards have the right to ask you to stop.
This area of Shanghai is full of towering skyscrapers. See what other compositions you can create with the various buildings surrounding the city's three tallest.
Try to fly low. The buildings are made of steel which can interfere with the drone signal, so try to stay lower and don't get too close to the skyscrapers.

Check out the restaurant, Canton, on the 55th floor of the Grand Hyatt Shanghai in the Jin Mao Tower. They serve traditional Cantonese cuisine in a modern setting.
