RulesThe Sky Bridge Tour is a separate product from the standard observatory ticket, requires advance reservation, and may be suspended in strong winds or bad weather β check the latest status.
SafetyThe 478 m glass-floored Sky Deck can be intense if you fear heights. Take it slowly and follow the railings and staff guidance.
SeasonFine dust, haze or overcast skies can badly limit the view. Check air quality and weather beforehand to catch a clear day.
CautionBuy tickets only from the official site or authorized resellers (e.g., Klook, Trazy). Avoid unofficial ticket resellers near the site.
