I want to visit the following skyscrapers in China and visit the observation decks or visit the bars near the roof tops:

Hong Kong - ICC, 2 IFC, Bank of China Tower, Central Plaza
Guangzhou - CITIC Plaza, Guangzhou TV Tower
Shenzhen - Shun Hing Square
Shanghai - Jin Mao, Shanghai WFC, Orient Pearl
Beijing - CCTV Building

Have any of you visited these towers? If so I'd love to read about your experience.

Here is a Youtube video of the view from Shun Hing Square looking over Shenzhen at night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHvzkpLN5bs

Shenzhen - Shun Hing Square

If you want to have a panoramic view of Shenzhen, you need get to the [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/guangdong/shenzhen/meridian-view-center.htm]Meridian View Center[/tcgurl]located on Diwang Mansion (Shun Hing Square).

Shanghai:
Please click the details about [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/shanghai/jinmao.htm]Jin Mao Tower[/tcgurl], [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/shanghai/financial-center.htm]Shanghai World Financial Center[/tcgurl] and [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/shanghai/oriental_pearl.htm]Oriental Pearl TV Tower[/tcgurl].

And I have heard that you have to make reservation first before you go there for a visit. I am sorry that I don't have much info on that.

Thanks JimmyB. The reservation is needed only for the Orient Pearl TV Tower correct?

TEXAS80,

I am sorry that I didn't say it clearly. I've just heard that you need to make a reservation if you want to visit Bank of China Tower. If you visit the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, you don't have to make a reservation. If you want to dine at the revolving restaurant inside the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, better make a reservation just in case there are many people in that restaurant.
