Iconic tower.

5.00I couldn’t leave Shanghai without visiting Oriental Pearl Tower. It’s very kitchy inside, and hot/crowded at the time I visited. Honestly I preferred the viewing experience from Shanghai Tower, which offers an overview of OPT - and is more interesting when viewed from outside. A little dated now, but that gives it a special charm.

5.00Put this on the top of your list for Shanghai! We loved it: highly recommend the 3 Balls option as it provides all the viewing opportunities provided: we gasped in disbelief at the multiple wonderful views of Shanghai at night: a wonderland of colour! Excellent: well worth every cent to experience this. TIP: do this one at night and book another tower (nearby) for the following morning: super to get two very different perspectives. We rate this 10/10.
