Does anyone know what's going on with the lights of the Shanghai Tower? It's been like this for quite a while now. Is this what it'll look like, or are they not finished with the lighting yet?

warakorn

What do you mean? That there are no lights in the upper floors?

Eugeniusz Bodo

Beautifully done! Brings back the memories. Thank you! Just curious why you didn't care to take Maglev train in Shanghai and express train to Tokyo Central? Any particular reason?

TOMFORD

It just seems like the lighting isn't finished... On New Years Shanghai Tower lit up with twisty vertical lines that followed the crease in the building, but now its lights look random. Here's what it looked like.
