SWFC

För ett tag sedan var vi och åt lyxigt & gott på Shanghai World Finasial Center, SWFC el oxå kallat handväskan.
Jag hade för mig att man skulle gå in på framsidan men att då ta sig till resturangen på 91 våning var likt en laburint och jag fick rönka handväskan minst tre gånger innan vi nådd hissen som ledde oss upp till resturangen.
Det var en modern byggnad, kal och cool!
Tyvärr mulnade det på så medans vi åt såg vi bara en grå vägg utanför fönstret, men vi hann ta några kort iaf.
Maten var kanon och drycken likaså!
Super trevlig kväll!

   

Jin Mao såg nästan liten ut när man såg det uppe från SWFC.




 
SWFC är mestadels ett Japanskt bygge, därav denna hyper moderna toa.
Man kunde välja vilken tvätt man ville ha efter sina behov, bara framtill, baktill el kanske både och. Sen kunde man välja tork av olika slag.
Att öppna toa locket gjorde man genom att trycka på en knapp så åkte toa locket upp atomatiskt.
Sittsen var uppvarmd, snudd på lite läskigt, påminde mig att "här har någon suttit väldigt länge".


Lite info om SWFC

The Shanghai World Financial Center (Abbr: SWFC; simplified Chinese: 上海环球金融中心) is a supertall skyscraper in Pudong, Shanghai, China. It is a mixed use skyscraper which consists of offices, hotels, conference rooms, observation decks, and shopping malls on the ground floors. Park Hyatt Shanghai is the hotel component containing 174 rooms and suites. Occupying the 79th to the 93rd floors, it is the highest hotel in the world, surpassing the Grand Hyatt Shanghai on the 53rd to 87th floors of the neighboring Jin Mao Tower.

On 14 September 2007 the skyscraper was topped out at 492.0 meters (1,614.2 ft) and became the second-tallest building in the world; as well as the tallest structure in the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong. It is currently the third-tallest building in the world. It also had the highest occupied floor and the highest height to roof, two categories used to determine the title of "The World’s Tallest Building".

On 28 August 2008, the SWFC officially opened for business and two days later, the Observation Deck opened with a view from 3 levels. The highest view is at 474 m (1,555 ft) above ground level. It continues to have the tallest observation deck in the world surpassing even the Burj Khalifa.

The SWFC has been lauded for its design and named by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat as the best skyscraper of 2008.

Construction

The foundation stone was laid on 27 August 1997. In the late 1990s the Pierre de Smet Building Corporation had a fund shortage caused by the Asian financial crisis in 1997 to 1998, which halted the project after the foundations were completed. On 13 February 2003, the Mori Group increased the building's height to 492 m and 101 stories from the initial plans for a 460 m (1,509 ft), 94-story building. The new building would use the foundation of the original design. The building construction resumed on 16 November 2003.

The building reached its total height of 492 m on 14 September 2007 after installation of the final steel girder. The final cladding panels were installed in mid June 2008, and elevator installation was finished in mid July 2008. On 17 July 2008 The Shanghai World Financial Center was completed and on 28 August 2008, the SWFC officially opened for business. On 30 August 2008, the observation floors were opened to the public.

A fire broke out in the SWFC on 14 August 2007. The fire was first noticed on the 40th floor, around 16:30 (GMT +8), and soon the smoke was clearly seen outside the building. By 17:45, the fire had been extinguished. The damage was reported to be slight and nobody was injured in this accident. The cause of the fire is still unknown, but according to some sources the preliminary investigation suggested workers' electric weldings caused the fire.[
