Due to the extreme pollution problems that frequently plague Shanghai, it is advisable to visit the World Financial Center on a reasonably clear day.

In general, weekend days are the clearest as many factories are either shut down or operating at a reduced capacity.  The morning after a heavy rain is also a good time for visibility.

The World Financial Center is one of Shanghai China's top tourist attractions.
