This is the top of Jinmao Tower - how many people are able to look at Jinmao from this direction?

Jinmao looks really tall from the top, even looks taller from this direction.

- Look at the photo I took when it is just two floors in height: http://home.wangjianshuo.com/archives/20050916_shanghai_world_financial_center.htm Within 2 and half years, it is already 100 stories high.
- I also have pictures of the center under construction. It is just half of the height of Jinmao: http://home.wangjianshuo.com/archives/20060409_world_financial_center_part_ii.htm
- This is the center from where I live: http://home.wangjianshuo.com/archives/20071023_world_financial_center_part_iii.htm
I will keep report the progress of this very nice building.
P.S. I also heard that the world’s highest hotel will no longer be the Grant Hyatt. It will be Park Hyatt from 79th to 93rd floor. It will open in just 6 months!

How tall will humans continue to build? Do we really need this? he he ... I love it but I feel sometimes it's just about showing power. What do you think?
Just think about nothing there 10 years ago, and what it looks like now, I am happy to witness everything happened there.
