The Sky Walk is the highest publicly accessible built space in the world. Perched 1,555 feet (474 meters) on the tower’s 100th floor, the sky-high walkway is poised to become one of the most spectacular destinations in the world, offering an unparalleled window into modern Shanghai.

The Sky Walk is the dramatic culmination of the SWFC’s seven-level public Observatory, which occupies the building's 94th through 100th floors. Stretching 180 feet (55 meters) across the monumentally scaled portal at the top of the tower, the walkway is designed with canted glass walls and a glass floor to offer unprecedented views of the Shanghai skyline, downtown streets, and the Huangpu River. A second Sky Walk, on the 97th floor, is equally breathtaking, featuring a roof that opens to the sky when weather permits. A Sky Arena on the 94th floor houses exhibition and event space totaling more than 700 square meters to serve as a space for entertainment events, information sessions, and other publicity-related gatherings.
