Today looks like it'd be a perfect day to skip out of work - and not just because it's (somewhat) sunny either. The Shanghai government has expanded its half-price Tuesday campaign to even more locations around the city, making it a great excuse to finally get yourself over to attractions like the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, the Pearl Tower or the top of the SWFC.

Shanghai made it to 4th place in Forbes' list of the world's tallest cities with a total of 21 towers climbing over 700 feet. The current tallest is the Shanghai World Financial Center, at 1,614 feet, but it'll be surpassed by the Shanghai Tower, which is expected to be completed in 2014 and reach heights of 2,000 feet. It was beat out by Dubai, Hong Kong and, at number one, New York City.
