A series of photos documenting the construction of the Shanghai Tower, China's tallest building, located in the city's Lujiazui area, were on display on Sept 8.

The exhibition, located in the underground pedestrian tunnel which leads to the building, will run to Oct 9 and features some 400 photographs, including aerial and night photos, taken by professional and amateur photographers during the tower's eight-year construction.

At 632 meters high, it is currently the second tallest in the world, surpassed only by the 828-meter Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai.
