120 per person just to get up to the 87th floor? and then spend another 200 at least in the cafe/bar?

It's just a hotel bar so expect 5 star hotel prices. I Martini will probably set you back 60 RMB but at busy times they may have a minimum charge of say, 100 rmb per head. They do NOT charge you to get to the 87th floor - elevators are free even in China!

In Cloud 9, you pay 120 or 150 RMB to get in i dont remember, which includes one drink if they haven't changed it.
On a nice day with a good view its well worth it , but far from romantic because it's packed with tourists running about pressing their noses against windows and taking pictures.

There is a minimum charge of 120 rmb + tax /pers from 8.00 PM if I remember well.
There are some other nice bar on 54th floor which have no such restriction but a fruit juice is already 50 rmb + tax !
it is not specially romantic but a nice place full of tourists, curious & business men, if you are looking for a place to impress your girlfriend, I am sure a night in the Presidential suite with a few musicians is a better bet.

I don't think that's unreasonable as it stops people going in and having iced water and sitting all night, then there's no place for real paying customers to sit. Or am I being too snotty?
