The featured image is of the Shanghai World Financial Tower and Jin Mao Tower, taken from Lujiazui Central Green Space — a beautiful park. I stood facing south and launched my drone from the park to get this view. By Metro: - Closest Station: South Pudong Road (Line 14) - Head southwest on Pudong Ave until it merges into Luijazui E Rd - Lujiazui Central Green Space will be on your right

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Night
You can capture this view from Lujiazui Central Green Space any month of year, but I suggest shooting on a cold night after a warm morning. This type of weather typically leads to the fog that you see in my featured image.
Visit the park at night when the buildings are lit up against the night sky.

Field tips

Be respectful and mindful with your drone. There are guards at the park, so be careful!
To create a sense of symmetry, align your drone in the middle of the two buildings.
Because you're so close to many of Shanghai's tallest skyscrapers, fly your drone around and experiment with different angles. There are so many possibilities when you shoot from the Lujiazui Central Green Space.
