i didnt like this one before. i thought it was a little overrated. now i find this one really attractive. it's so cool. i'm usually not a fan of SOM. this one to date is one of their best. it's a decent scraper in shanghai. it somehow reminds me of petronas. and the close ups are great. but still i prefer bank of china and 2ifc in china's other grand skyline.

9.5/10

It's cool and very tall, but there's something that makes me dislike it a bit...8/10, though

jin mao is a great tower. beside the great shape i love the colours, they seem to change from blue to orange to red depending on the sunlight 10/10

Probably one of my favorite China buildings, and I'm not a fan of Chinese architecture at all. I really like this building because SOM built it. It is amazing how SOM which builds American style buildings could make an amazing building like this that fits China pefectly.

stop this BS! This tower was designed by SOM AND a famous architecture firm in Shanghai. There is no way SOM can comes up with this design without that Shanghai firm.

I never cared much for Jin Mao - always thought the chinese style tiers were a bit 'odd' etc..

But having just seen it in person - and *particularly* at nightime - my impression has changed completely..

It's an awesome tower - just grand and majestic - towering over the rest of the city at the back of Pudong like a grand old relative..

At night - with the trademark Shanghai haze - it looks about 700m & 200 stories tall!! Truly amazing..
