THE Shanghai Tower will open its sightseeing platform on the 119th floor to the public in a soft opening in June, an official said yesterday.

Visitors will be able to take three high-speed elevators to reach the 560-meter-high platform within a minute in the 632-meter, 137-floor skyscraper — the world’s second tallest.

The platform will feature souvenir stores, a post office and exhibition areas, said officials.
