 The world's highest sightseeing hall, located on the 100th floor of China's tallest skyscraper, will open to the public on Saturday, local media reported.

The hall is 474 metres (1,555 feet) above the ground in the Shanghai World Financial Centre, the Oriental Morning Post reported Tuesday.

Sightseers who want a bird's eye view of the city will have to pay 150 yuan (22 dollars) each for the experience, it said.

The building, finished earlier this year but not yet open to the public, has 101 floors for a total height of 492 metres, making it the tallest in China.

As well as the observation deck, the building will also have a luxury hotel, shops and 70 floors of office space, the centre's website says.

Until now, the highest similar venue has been the Sky Pod of the CN Tower in Toronto, at 447 metres high.
