Shanghai World Financial Center is a supertall skyscraper with 101 stories. It's most distinctive feature is the trapezoid aperture at the peak to reduce the stresses of wind pressure. It is informally referred to as "the bottle opener". Metal replicas of the building that function as actual bottle openers are sold in the tower's gift shop. The tower features three separate observation decks which constitute the floors above and below the aperture opening. The Shanghai World Financial Center, The Shanghai Tower and The Jin Mao Tower form the world's first adjacent grouping of three supertall skyscrapers.
