Views & landmarks
Aurora Plaza
Overview
Aurora Plaza is a 185-meter skyscraper located in the Lujiazui financial district of Pudong, Shanghai. Characterized by a sleek, curved facade facing the Huangpu River, the structure is notable for large-scale video displays projected across its exterior after sunset. Travelers visit primarily to see these animated light projections as part of the skyline view.
Getting There
From central Shanghai, such as People's Square, take Metro Line 2 directly to Lujiazui Station. The subway ride takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes, followed by a short walk toward the riverfront promenade.
Recommended Time
Allocate roughly 15 to 30 minutes to view the building exterior and observe the screen projections from ground level or the waterfront.
When to Visit
Visit in the evening when the exterior projections are active. The surrounding riverside walkways become crowded after dark, especially on weekends and national holidays. A weekday evening offers a less congested visit.

The location connects easily to several key sites within walking distance:
- Shanghai IFC (0.3km)
- Lujiazui (0.4km)
- Shanghai Tower (0.6km)
- Bank of China Tower, Shanghai (0.6km)
