Oriental Pearl Tower

It is one of Shanghai's landmarks, located in Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, with a height of about 468 meters.

The outdoor observation corridor of the lower sphere, with a diameter of 50 meters, is 90 meters high. The upper sphere observation deck, with a diameter of 45 meters and a height of 263 meters, is the main observation deck of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.

The 259-meter-long suspended observation gallery, 150 meters long and 2.1 meters wide, was repurposed from the edge of the former Second Sphere observation deck. It consists of 24 retractable, "petal-shaped" tempered, transparent laminated glass panels, each with a floor area of 17.29 square meters.

The space capsule at 350 meters has a diameter of 16 meters and displays the sci-fi charm of space scenes in a futuristic style. It is the highest sightseeing floor of the TV tower.

There are also amusement areas and 5D movie areas.

I had to visit the Oriental Pearl Tower; it's a landmark, after all. It was winter when I went, so there weren't many people, so I could explore as I pleased. You can find group buys on various travel websites, which are cheaper. Since I don't like being rushed, I bought full-price tickets at the entrance to the Oriental Pearl Tower. The suspended observation deck is worth seeing, offering panoramic views of both sides of the Huangpu River. It was drizzling and foggy the day I went, so I didn't see anything. I also took a look at the Space Capsule Exhibition Hall. Also, I think there's a roller coaster there. (My Shanghai travelogue: http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/11773062.html)

The Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower is one of Shanghai's iconic cultural landmarks. Located in Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, it borders the Huangpu River and faces the Bund across the river. Standing approximately 468 meters tall, the tower was constructed in July 1991 and opened in May 1995. It provides wireless television transmission services for six channels in Shanghai, covering an area with an 80-kilometer radius. The second dome, at 263 meters, features a glass-brick hollow floor, offering a thrilling view down. The first dome also features a roller coaster, the overall design inspired by the ancient Chinese poem "large and small pearls falling on a jade plate." It's highly recommended.

Many tourists visiting Shanghai visit the Oriental Pearl Tower. It was raining when I visited, so the tower looked quite ordinary. However, at night, with the lights changing, it's quite stunning. The entrance fee to the Oriental Pearl Tower is quite high, with different towers offering different prices. However, climbing the tower and taking in the view from above is quite enjoyable.

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is a symbol of Shanghai and a 5A national scenic spot. While its popularity as a high-rise viewing spot has been eclipsed by skyscrapers like the Shanghai Tower, it still attracts a large number of visitors. On the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, the daytime lines were over an hour long, and only accessible to the second ball court. The second ball court has three levels: the top is a restaurant, the middle level offers a view, and the bottom level is a transparent observation deck (partially glass). The first ball court is mostly entertainment, and you can't descend directly from the second ball court to the first ball court. You must descend to the ground floor and take the glass elevator in the center to reach the first ball court.

You have to buy the ticket in advance, and it seems that you can only use it 1.5 hours after buying the ticket. You can enter all the spaces except the top space capsule.

Ps: You can climb the tower in the evening, where you can see both daytime and nighttime views, and watch the sunset and nightfall of Shanghai.

I accidentally walked into a room made of mirrors in Landmark Park. I was lost in it for a few minutes until someone else came in. Without any reference points, I really couldn't tell where the boundaries of the room were.

There is a Coca-Cola park in the shopping area under the Oriental Pearl Tower (there is also a buffet restaurant, the lunch price is reasonable, you can go there)

The Coca-Cola neon lights in the park were originally dim, but there is a secret Easter egg here that can make the whole park brighter. Of course, you can also have a bottle of Coca-Cola



Although we had seen thick clouds and fog before and the ticket seller warned us that visibility might be poor, we finally decided to hold on to a glimmer of hope and go to the Oriental Pearl Tower to take a look.

This isn't entirely a bad thing, perhaps because the lingering mist allowed me to temporarily escape my usual rush-and-see mode. Having to pause and wait for the moment the mist parted, the scenery I saw was more deeply etched in my mind.

The Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower, located in Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, is one of Shanghai's iconic cultural landmarks. Standing approximately 468 meters tall, it was built in July 1991 and opened in May 1995. It transmits six wireless television channels in Shanghai, covering an area with an 80-kilometer radius.

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is one of the first national AAAAA-level tourist attractions. It features a space capsule, a revolving restaurant, and the Shanghai History Exhibition Hall. In 1995, it was listed as one of Shanghai's ten new attractions.

Standing 468 meters tall, the Oriental Pearl Tower, nestled beside the Huangpu River and overlooking the Bund, is one of Shanghai's iconic cultural landmarks. At 263 meters, you'll enjoy a 360-degree view of Shanghai's nightscape. At 259 meters, a suspended, transparent observation deck offers thrilling and exhilarating views, perfect for a sunset stroll. After dark, stand at the highest point and gaze down upon the vibrantly lit cityscape, truly captivating and captivating.

I arrived at the Oriental Pearl Tower just before 7 PM on Saturday, March 24th of last year. Perhaps because it was the weekend, the line was incredibly long and the traffic was incredibly busy, so I waited for almost two hours. It was almost 9 PM when I finally got to the elevator, and it ended at 10 PM, so I only had a little over an hour. I didn't get to use some floors and attractions due to time constraints, so I went straight to the top observation deck. From there, I could take in the panoramic view of the Bund and even the Huangpu River across the way. It was truly stunning! Unfortunately, I arrived a little too late this time, and all that time was spent waiting in line, so I didn't get to fully enjoy the ride! It's a bit of a shame!

Although it has been built for many years, its advantage lies in its unique shape, and it is not inferior to the bottle opener and egg beater next to it!

Maybe because it was a weekday and it was already 8:30 in the evening, there were not many tourists climbing the tower. We basically went up without queuing. The view from the 100th floor was quite beautiful.

The best viewing point of the Oriental Pearl Tower is the fully transparent glass plank road. Through the transparent glass under your feet, you can overlook the panoramic view of both sides of the Huangpu River and feel like walking in the clouds.

Travel Tip: Plan your visit to the Panoramic Glass Skywalk from Monday to Friday, and avoid peak weekend times. Staff report that weekend queues can take at least two hours to get to the tower.

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower, located in Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, is one of Shanghai's iconic cultural landmarks. Standing approximately 468 meters tall, it is a landmark of Shanghai and a world-renowned landmark. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is a multi-tube structure, with wind forces acting as the primary control factor for its main structure. The tower boasts exceptional stability, designed to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 7, no cracking at magnitude 8, and no collapse at magnitude 9. Furthermore, the building boasts excellent wind resistance.

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower has been around for almost 30 years. It has always been a symbol of Shanghai, standing on the Bund facing Lujiazui across the Huangpu River. No matter how the surrounding buildings change, the Oriental Pearl is always there, always so unique and irreplaceable.

From the Oriental Pearl Tower, you can see the Bund's night scene and the vibrant lights and nightlife on the glass floor. To put it bluntly, you can feel the prosperity of Shanghai and the rise of China. The history museum downstairs is very interesting, and I like to see the various simulation models the most.

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower, located in Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, is one of Shanghai's iconic cultural landmarks and stands approximately 468 meters tall. It features a multi-tube structure, with its backbone consisting of three 9-meter-diameter, 287-meter-tall hollow columns connected by 6-meter-high beams. At an elevation of 93 meters, the tower is supported by three 7-meter-diameter inclined columns, angled 60 degrees to the ground. The tower's 425 foundation piles are driven 12 meters into the ground. Three steel spheres weighing thousands of tons are suspended at 112, 295, and 350 meters above the tower, respectively. The reinforced concrete structure is supplemented by three diagonal braces nearly 100 meters high. This hollow tube and diagonal bracing scheme ensures the tower's excellent earthquake and wind resistance, designed to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 7, 8, and 9.

As the little brother next to it grows taller and taller, the Pearl Tower is no longer as stunning as it used to be, but it still occupies the most golden C position and is especially dazzling at night.

Looking at the Oriental Pearl Tower from the Bund, the word "fog city" perfectly reflects the city's style.

The Oriental Pearl Tower, once the tallest building, is very beautiful and shocking.

A landmark of Shanghai and one of the top three TV towers in Asia

I booked a buffet online at the Oriental Pearl Tower's 5 o'clock revolving restaurant, so I didn't have time to wander around after leaving the stadium and headed straight to Lujiazui.

It's okay, it's an iconic building, it's worth a visit, well ~ one visit is enough, after all, it's an iconic building ~

The Pearl of the Orient is in the Pearl Tower. Climb the Pearl Tower and see all the other buildings; stepping on the glass floor is thrilling and exciting.

Shanghai's landmark building, 468 meters high, is best viewed from the Bund, especially at night.

In December 2015, I took a cruise trip from Shanghai with my grandma, visited the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and took photos. Time flies so fast, it has been 4 years. At that time, my grandma even had her hair done specially.

It's really a good place to check in in Shanghai haha

The Oriental Pearl Tower stands tall in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai, facing the Bund across the river. It is a landmark building in Shanghai. A fully transparent sightseeing elevator ascends to the 351-meter-high "Space Capsule" observation deck for sweeping views of both sides of the Huangpu River, where visitors can interact with the "astronauts." Enjoying a meal at the 267-meter-high revolving restaurant while gazing at the night view of Shanghai is an even more extraordinary experience. The Oriental Pearl Tower, 468 meters high, consists of 11 spheres of varying sizes connected together. The design is inspired by the aesthetic concept of "large and small pearls falling on a jade plate." Climbing the three main spheres offers views of the Huangpu River from varying heights, and the fully transparent observation gallery at 259 meters offers a unique "skywalk" experience of panoramic views of Shanghai. Climbing the observation deck at night to experience the vibrant colors of the "city that never sleeps" is an unforgettable experience. The Oriental Pearl Tower also houses a world of entertainment, dining, exhibitions, and shopping.

I have been to Shanghai once a year in recent years. In 2017, I went to the Oriental Pearl Tower. I could see far from the high point and the night view was beautiful. Shanghai is indeed a big city with tall buildings and many people!

If you like traveling, you must visit every city attraction.

When I went there, the wind suddenly blew and the temperature dropped. It was very cold and foggy.

So I gave up

It's such a rip-off. I waited in line for two hours. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come even if you paid me!

I love the Oriental Pearl Tower. It's majestic, beautiful, and rich in history, with distinct views both during the day and at night. The museum inside is truly worth exploring, and the high-altitude glass plank walkway, one of the first in China to instantly overcome those with acrophobia, remains breathtakingly captivating. Although no longer the tallest landmark in Shanghai, it's still worth a visit. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower, one of the first national 5A-rated tourist attractions, boasts a space capsule, a revolving restaurant, and a Shanghai City History Exhibition Hall. Together with the Nanpu and Yangpu Bridges, it creates a stunning "Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl" scene.

There weren't many people in January, but we still booked ticket B + lunch in the revolving restaurant online. I personally felt that the restaurant hygiene was not very good (the dishes were not cleaned properly), but everything else was generally good. It's worth having such an experience!

This was my first time here at night. The Oriental Pearl Tower has a lot more routines than many years ago. There are more floors that need to be visited and the waiting time is longer, but people are still coming and going.

Individual tourists can get on the elevator quickly. Because there are too many group tourists, everyone has to go around in a circle and queue for half an hour before getting in. The elevator goes directly to 90 meters, and then continue to queue at 90 meters before reaching 263 meters.

But after getting on, I didn't care about anything. Every angle was so beautiful, the Pujiang River cruise, the buildings in the distance, the moon in the sky

After staying at 263 meters for a long time, we went down to 259 meters. 259 is an open-air glass plank road. As a very popular tourist attraction in recent years, the glass plank road is also very popular here. People who go up there are not afraid at all. Some are sitting and some are lying down, and they are recording videos on Douyin, which is very lively.

But the light below was too dim and I couldn't see clearly, so the people in the photo looked very ghostly.

It is said that you can go up, but I didn’t go up. I looked at it from outside and took the subway Line 2 and got off at Lujiazui.

I thought the Oriental Pearl TV Tower was just a landmark, but I found it incredibly rewarding. I loved the second-highest observation deck, and the fully transparent glass walkway was a delight to walk on. The 3D fantasy park and small shops below the tower were also very interesting.

Climbing the tower is a matter of personal preference, whether during the day or at night (it's a popular experience, so we recommend lining up in advance). Descend to the 90-meter mark and take the elevator back to the 0-meter lobby. Don't miss the Shanghai Urban Development Exhibition Hall, though the elevator wait is a lengthy one (a testament to everyone's love for the Oriental Pearl Tower).

After the tour guide took us in, we were free to explore. Our tour order was to visit two sightseeing balls first, and then go to the Shanghai History and Culture Exhibition Hall.

If you go up at night, the night view must be great! There is a staircase, go down two floors to reach the glass plank road, this must be experienced, it is a little different from the glass plank road in Zhangjiajie, from the glass plank road you can see the cars below, like little ants

Apart from the transparent corridor, there is nothing interesting else. It was snowing the day we went there and we couldn't see anything outside from the tower, everything was blurry. You can stroll around the historical museum inside, there are many special places.

One complaint: the Oriental Pearl Tower was overcrowded. We had to queue for two hours to get in and half an hour to get out. We spent over 20 minutes up there, and there were groups of children everywhere. The view was beautiful, and although I was a little scared of heights at first, I saw tourists jumping on the glass next to me, but after a few minutes I was less scared.

I'd heard a lot about the Oriental Pearl Tower, it's an iconic building after all, but when I actually walked in and saw the terrifying crowds, I was speechless...

There were too many people... The ticket window said E tickets (not entering the space capsule) would take... four hours... so scary

Maybe because there are too many tourists, the service here is really poor.

There were many tourists gathered at the foot of the Oriental Pearl Tower, so the three of us only watched it up close and didn't go to the top of the tower. However, I heard that you can enjoy the beautiful night view from the top of the tower at night. It is still very shocking to see the buildings that often appear on TV up close.

 

A fashionable landmark in New Shanghai, a must-see for tourists

It is enough to buy half of the ticket, unless you want to ride the roller coaster at the top. There is nothing special about the top. Except for buying an extra ticket to ride the 360-degree roller coaster after reaching the top, half of the ticket is enough. The glass plank viewing platform there is still good.

Located on the 58th floor of the Ritz-Carlton, Flair Rooftop Restaurant and Bar was meticulously designed by the world-renowned Japanese design firm Super Potato. The restaurant's highlight is undoubtedly its observation deck, offering sweeping views of both sides of the Huangpu River, making the skyscrapers seem like they're right at your feet, even the Oriental Pearl Tower within arm's reach. Every weekend afternoon (starting at 2 PM), the bar offers afternoon tea sets: 280 yuan for a selected set and 488 yuan for two on the rooftop, plus a 10% service charge and 6% VAT.

On the Bund in Shanghai, the passing ships and the sound of their horns make me feel like I'm immersed in the scene. Wow, I really don't feel like I'm watching TV.

I don't recommend climbing to the top, but I do recommend it for viewing from the Bund, especially at night. It's really beautiful.

I've been punching in since I was little, but I don't understand what's so beautiful about it.

It is very suitable for seeing the panoramic view of Shanghai Bund. It is best to go in the afternoon so that you can see the scenery of Shanghai Bund and Pudong during the day and at night.

After the Pearl Plaza in Haikou and the Pearl Cruise in Guangzhou, I now stand at the foot of the Pearl Tower. This time, I will take another tower into my pocket!

Mom said that even though each tower looks different, they're pretty much the same inside. But! Even if we don't climb the Guangzhou Tower, Tokyo Tower, or Harbin Dragon Tower, we absolutely have to climb the Pearl Tower! Life needs a sense of ritual, and you can define what constitutes ritual yourself. Mom felt that climbing the Pearl Tower with Mingzhu was the most ceremonial moment of her trip.

But I have to complain that there are too many people and the queue is 2-3 hours.

The symbol of Shanghai, although it is no longer the tallest building on the Bund, its popularity cannot be erased. Even if you come here on weekdays, you will have to queue up for a long time. The most fun thing is the glass plank road in the second ball.

I used to see it on TV shows, but it feels great to actually stand on it.

You can overlook the city of Shanghai. If you are afraid of heights, don't go up there.

Just take a look, hahaha. The lights are beautiful, suitable for going at night. The lights are turned off at 10 o'clock

The Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower is one of Shanghai's iconic cultural landmarks. Located in Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, it borders the Huangpu River and faces the Bund across the river. Standing approximately 468 meters tall, the tower was constructed in July 1991 and opened in May 1995. It provides six wireless television transmission services for Shanghai, covering an area radius of 80 kilometers.

The best vantage point of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is from the observation deck, offering 360-degree views of Shanghai. On a sunny day, Sheshan Mountain and Chongming Island are faintly visible. The tower is composed of 11 spheres of varying sizes, and within it, guests can enjoy a revolving restaurant, a development exhibition hall, and a science fiction city.

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is one of the first national AAAAA-level tourist attractions and was listed as one of Shanghai's top ten new landscapes in 1995.

In 2018, during the Shanghai Tourism Festival, a total of 75 scenic spots (spots) launched half-price ticket discounts, including the Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower; the half-price discount period was from September 15 to September 21.

Located adjacent to the Huangpu River and facing the Bund across the water, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is one of Shanghai's iconic cultural landmarks. Looking up, you'll see 11 spheres of varying sizes and heights descending from the azure sky in a series, creating both the grandeur of a solitary palace towering above the heavens and the exquisite elegance of pearls large and small falling on a jade plate.

As it was the National Day holiday, the tower was packed with people, and the queues were expected to last over three hours. Fortunately, we had purchased fast passes in advance, so we had no problems getting into the tower quickly.

263 meters is the main sightseeing floor, where you can have a panoramic view of Shanghai.

At 259 meters is a transparent suspended corridor, through which you can clearly see the endless stream of vehicles and the green grass below.

The 78-meter mark is the "More Shanghai" dynamic multimedia show, showcasing "Shanghai 70 years later."

0 meters is the Shanghai City History Development Exhibition Hall, which is opposite to "More Shanghai", one looks to the future and the other looks back to the past.

There is also a "Landmark Park - Global Fantasy Travel" at 0 meters. As the name suggests, this is a fantasy space that brings together world-famous landmarks.

Don't go on the space capsule! Don't go on the space capsule! Don't go on the space capsule! I have to say it three times. It's nothing new, nothing special. I just went to the bathroom at 351 meters high 🚽 and left a souvenir...

This place is truly stunning at night. People were snapping photos on the overpass. There's a three-piece kitchen set here! Finance majors like me really need to check it out! So exciting! Absolutely exciting! The Oriental Pearl Tower is right here! You can buy a sightseeing ticket to see Shanghai at night. I didn't go up, though. I heard it's only for taking photos, but it was still crowded.

I bought an E ticket for the Fantasy Travel Exhibition (263-meter main sightseeing deck + 259-meter transparent suspended corridor + multimedia show + Historical Development Exhibition Hall - optional Global Fantasy Travel Exhibition) for 168 yuan per adult and 108 yuan per child. I thought it was worth it. I didn't expect much, but it was far better than expected. It was worth it. Seeing the empty waiting area was really flattering. Thinking about how crowded it would be during the National Day holiday, it was worth taking the day off to come. The kids loved the multimedia show, which showcased the future of Shanghai.

Back on the ground, the Shanghai City History Exhibition Hall is quite large. After exiting the exhibition hall, there's the Global Fantasy Travel Exhibition, which was included in the package and was completely worth it. The various VR experiences are also very interesting. This place is also called Landmark Park, with famous landmarks from all over the world. When we got out, we saw the Oriental Pearl Tower, which was still the most impressive.

It is really beautiful when you look at it up close. I bought a full ticket, which includes four parts to visit.

Because it had rained, the clouds were very low, and the tall buildings were partially obscured by the clouds. The top of the building was right above the clouds. After viewing the upper sphere, you can go to the glass plank road. This glass plank road circles the Pearl Tower. If you are brave enough, you can walk around on it. I really didn't have the courage, so I just took a picture and walked around on the floor next to it.

The shapes of the space capsules are all in the style of astronaut space capsules. If children come here to see these, they should be very excited.

The space capsule has two floors. The lower floor has some small games about space knowledge. Since there was no one there, I had a lot of fun playing them. Then I saw the Star Wars movie before I saw the display screen.

After getting off the space capsule, I went directly to the lower sphere. It felt like the things in the lower sphere were closer.

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower stands 468 meters tall, with sightseeing trips up to 350 meters. Tickets are divided into several tiers. I generally recommend a Class B ticket (upper sphere + lower sphere (including one attraction) + exhibition hall) for 160 yuan. By the way, to get to the Oriental Pearl Tower, get off at Lujiazui Subway Station, which is 12 stops from Hongqiao Railway Station. Before entering, there's a row of photos on the lintel outside, chronologically depicting the changes in Pudong from the construction of the Oriental Pearl Tower in 1994 to 2013.

A good friend bought an e-ticket online, the 169 yuan EQ ticket includes the upper and lower spheres, full glass transparent viewing, the Shanghai History Museum and the Fantasy Journey (it is not recommended to buy the EQ ticket including the Fantasy Journey, just buy the E ticket, the Fantasy one is absolutely bluffing and super boring). It is very beautiful to watch the Bund night view at the Oriental Pearl Tower at night, with brilliant lights and a prosperous scene.

This is a great place to overcome fear of heights. Mili and I were both afraid of heights, but we were still attracted by the surrounding scenery and had more fun.

I unexpectedly waited in line for so long, from inside to outside, my legs almost felt like they weren't mine. I took the elevator directly to the upper level of the Second Ballpark, the 263-meter observation deck. It's a circular, enclosed observation deck, surrounded by large glass windows. There are coin-operated telescopes at intervals, along with information boards. You can walk around the entire floor and enjoy the Shanghai nightscape. There are also many souvenir shops nearby. I picked up two refrigerator magnets and two postcards, which was a nice bonus. By the way, postcards purchased at the TV Tower come with a commemorative stamp. If you arrive in time, there's a mailbox at the Second Ballpark where you can drop them off.

After touring this floor, take the stairs directly to the next floor, which is a circular glass observation deck. The floor and surrounding areas are made of transparent glass (although it is almost scratched into frosted glass), giving you a wider view.

Standing on the glass walkway, you can see the Disney store below.

From the second ballpark, take the elevator down to the first ballpark, which is also an observation deck. It's less crowded, open-air, and protected by wire mesh, so you can enjoy the night view more clearly. The Disney store is even clearer.

Across the Bund River is Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower. In the misty weather, it appears and disappears with a hazy light, which has a unique charm.

The beauty under neon lights sometimes makes people blurry.

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is a multi-tube structure, with wind forces as the primary control factor. Its main trunk consists of three 9-meter-diameter, 287-meter-tall hollow columns, connected by 6-meter-high beams. At an elevation of 93 meters, the tower is supported by three 7-meter-diameter inclined columns, angled 60 degrees to the ground. The tower's 425 foundation piles are driven 12 meters into the ground. Three steel spheres weighing thousands of tons are suspended at 112, 295, and 350 meters above the tower. The reinforced concrete structure is supported by three diagonal braces nearly 100 meters high.

The waiting time is extremely long, it's simply crazy. I emphasize bringing some books with you to kill time. It's best not to play with your phone while waiting in line, because there is a high possibility that the battery will not be enough!

After queuing up to enter the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, we took the elevator directly to the highest observation deck (because the tickets we bought were for the third observation deck, the highest floor. Some tourists who don't want to or are afraid of heights can buy tickets for the first and second observation decks. Secretly, let me tell you (the 90-meter observation deck is completely transparent, even the soles of your feet are transparent!!! It's a great place for photos, but those who are afraid of heights please stay away)

Climbing to the top floor of the Oriental Pearl Tower, you can overlook the whole of Shanghai and see the scenery of the Bund. The magnificent architectural landscape is in full view. It is so beautiful!!! (I emphasize this important thing three times)

After coming down from the third sightseeing floor, I visited the second sightseeing floor and saw a different Shanghai from a different angle!

I don't know what to say, I just feel like I've been here. That's enough.

Check out this attraction. Take a look while strolling along the Bund. This tower is no longer the highest point in Shanghai.

It happened to be a Sunday that day, and Shanghai was incredibly crowded. The line to get to the Oriental Pearl Tower was four hours long, but the view was worth it. The view was excellent, allowing for a panoramic view of Shanghai at night, which was truly stunning. We visited both the main sightseeing deck at 263 meters and the suspended observation gallery at 259 meters.

I've been to the Oriental Pearl Tower twice, but never up there. In fact, I've never been really close. I always thought it was just the Dragon TV tower, but I didn't expect it to be so impressive. Tickets were 450 yuan for two adults and one child. Online reservations were fully booked, and there were no tickets for the space program on the top floor. I had no idea what was going on, but I saw a huge queue. First, we lined up at the 0-meter lobby. That circle was at least several hundred meters long. Even people from smaller places would faint in that sea of people. When would it end?! If you thought that was the end, you're naive. It was just the beginning, because we had to wait for the elevators at every floor. After waiting for over an hour, we finally started our ascent. Our tickets were for the 263-meter and 259-meter levels. We paid for it, and we were there, so we just followed the crowd.

The second sphere of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is 263 meters high. Looking down from it, you can see the whole Shanghai in 360 degrees. It is very shocking. After all, the building you looked up at a few hours ago is now at your feet. The transformation is really exciting.

The 259-meter-high transparent glass body really drove too many people crazy. Grandpas and grandmas were lying on the ground taking pictures and laughing wildly. It can be seen that they really found the joy of traveling. The typhoon was still there, and the wind made the glass shake. Many people just stood on the other side and watched others taking pictures and posing, but they dared not take that step. More children were placed on the glass by their parents, looking at the world under their bodies with a confused look on their faces, which was extremely cute.
