First of all, it is a tower. So you come here to enjoy the Shanghai and the Huangpu River from above. If you are staying in the Oriental Riverside Hotel like I did, you'll get 2 free tickets entrance for the tower. I suggest you go there early in the morning to avoid the Que to get in to the elevator. And less people means less crowded at the window view (both on the main viewing floor and the glass see-trough floor).
Don't forget to take as many pictures and also selfie pictures especially on the glass see-through floor, because when you look once again from your laptop/TV the feeling that you were there came back to you.
On the ground level of the tower was the Shanghai History Museum with great collections of diorama and miniatures or even in the real size. You need to bring your night capability camera to capture every moment in this museum. Just don't miss this museum if you come here, especially for school children because this is one of the good museums I ever visited.
