China's tallest building summit was frozen over in a spectacular icy encounter amid a cold wave.

Rare video filmed in Shanghai on February 23, shows the top of the Shanghai Tower being frozen, with the building and ground covered in frost, reminiscent of scenes from a Chinese movie "The Wandering Earth."

The management of the Shanghai Tower stated that the area is an outdoor space and is not open to visitors.

On February 26th, citizens once again discovered that the outer walls of the Shanghai Tower's rooftop were covered in snow and ice, turning it into a "snow-capped cafe."

According to staff from the Property Management Control Centre of the Shanghai Tower, Shanghai has experienced a cold wave in recent days, with low temperatures and high humidity.

The average temperature on the rooftop of the Shanghai Tower is around -5 degrees Celsius, leading to natural phenomena such as icing and snow accumulation, with the outer walls being particularly affected.

As the temperature rises, the icy areas on the rooftop will gradually melt, and there may be instances of ice and snow falling. For safety reasons, unsheltered areas and sections of roads below have been cordoned off to prevent pedestrians and vehicles from passing through.

Data shows that the Shanghai Tower is located at 501 Yincheng Middle Road, Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone, Shanghai. It is a giant landmark skyscraper in Shanghai, China's tallest building and the world's third tallest.

Construction began on November 29, 2008, and the overall construction work was completed on March 12, 2016. The main uses of the Shanghai Tower include offices, hotels, commercial spaces, and sightseeing facilities, with the main building having 127 floors and a height of 632 metres above ground.

2月23日，上海中心大厦顶部被冰封冻住，建筑及地面都凝满了白霜，妥妥的“流浪地球”即视感。对此，上海中心大厦方面表示，该场地属于露天场地，并不向游客开放。
2月26日,有市民又发现，上海中心大厦楼顶的外墙上被冰雪覆盖，“流浪地球”成了“雪顶咖啡”。
上海中心大厦物业总控中心工作人员介绍，连日来，上海出现寒潮天气，温度低湿度大，上海中心楼顶区域平均温度在零下5度左右，部分区域出现结冰和积雪等自然现象，外墙结冰现象比较严重。随着温度的回升，楼顶结冰区域将逐渐融化，部分区域会出现冰雪坠落现象。为安全起见，已将楼下没有遮蔽的区域和路段进行管控，不让行人和车辆通行。
