Had an absolutely amazing time here, if you find yourself in Shanghai you must visit the TV tower and the surrounding area. The views are magical and the moment you see the skyline it'll feel like it's a greenscreen, it looks so crazy in real life that the photos do not do it justice. The costs to go in are reasonable, if you're unsure I would strongly push you to spending some money to go up the tower and spending time looking around!

This place needs no introduction, iconic, majestic, the must see and most famous piece of Shanghai skyline. It's Sci-Fi, it's timeless, it's just unique in it's own merit. I visited during the day, didn't take anything from the experience, specially for the glass floor, which is 360° and you can see the surroundings from a very, very tall perspective. If you have only one day in the city, just come here. Crowded, whatever, it's crowded regardless.

This is a pretty cool attraction. It lights up at night and it's pretty cool. I went at dusk so I was able to get a good daytime view followed by a night time view as well. I was too scared to go on the transparency deck with the glass. Hahaha! Definitely recommend going in for an hour or so!

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai offers breathtaking views, but my visit during the weekend was less than ideal. The crowd was overwhelming, and I endured a nearly 3-hour wait in the queue. Once I finally reached the observatory, my mood was dampened, and I only spent a quick 15 minutes taking in the view before heading down. I strongly recommend planning your visit during off-peak hours to fully enjoy this iconic attraction without the frustration of overcrowding.

The Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower is a TV tower in Shanghai. Its location at the tip of Lujiazui in the Pudong New Area by the side of Huangpu River, opposite The Bund, makes it a distinct landmark in the area. Its principal designers were Jiang Huan Chen, Lin Benlin, and Zhang Xiulin.

Fun location seriously crazy views. If you love heights this place is for you. You can see all of the Shanghai city scape from the top. The glass floor level is pretty awesome too. It can be a little jarring at first if you aren't into heights. I would get the 190 Yuan ticket. The top level is not really worth going to IMHO. It mainly details some space exploration and the windows out are small and curved. The restaurant is pretty awesome with great views and the food is buffet style - they had a Hungarian chef there also doing some ethnic dishes. Overall the food was good... For 200 ¥ it is pretty decent Overall I really enjoyed the experience.

he best way to see the magnificent Shanghai City is from above 1,536 feet or 468 meters, is from Oriental Pearl Tower. The design of this building is unique and outstanding, making it looks very attractive from anywhere. It was the tallest building in China, take over by Shanghai World Financial center in 2007. Located in Pudong New Area by the side of Huangpu River, it is the perfect location to view Shangai city from all different angles and perspectives. Oriental Pearl Tower has more than ten observatory levels; the highest one is at 351 meters; there is a revolving restaurant occupying at 267 meters. Other facilities and attractions are Museum, shops, a hotel, and futuristic of science attraction. Don't forget to test your bravery level by standing on the glass floor at observatory platform.

Nothing too special here. Glass floor, old Shanghai museum, good view. Skip going to the highest level with the space exhibit and tiny viewing windows. Get there early.

The iconic symbol of Shanghai, where is always full of people. They recently add up an one room ultra luxury hotel in the middle of the tower. I'm not sure who's going to stay there especially considering China's "zero covid" policy, there probably won't be as many foreign tourists as before. Anyway, if you visit there, just don't waste your time and money to climb up the tower. There is a Xiaomi store on the floor which in my mind, is the most worth visiting place…

Iconic Shanghai landmark that everyone should pay visit to. I was there uncountable times and always finding a new views either from outside to the tower or from the tower vice versa... I recommended going there earlier in the morning than in the evening; due to the crowds... but in the evening is city simply incredible (when all lights are on).

The Shanghai TV Tower, known for its iconic design, offers a revolving restaurant with panoramic views. Visitors often enjoy the 360-degree rotation, providing a unique dining experience. While queues may be present during peak hours, the captivating cityscape of Shanghai, especially during sunset or nighttime, makes the wait worthwhile. The observation deck also offers stunning vistas, allowing visitors to appreciate the city's skyline. To fully savor the experience, it's advisable to check for potential wait times and plan accordingly, especially during popular hours.

Adults 199rmb. Kids 1.2 to 1.4m half price. Kids below 1.2 free admission. Space capsule need to purchase separate tickets. Adults 100 rmb, kids 1.2 to 1.4m half price. Kids below 1.2 free admission. Personally feel the space capsule is not worth the money, there’s nothing much to be seen up there. The museum below was an eye opener showing Shanghai history in the early 1900s. Overall quite satisfied with the place but the tickets were quite pricey.

A little bit expensive entrance fee, but worthy to visit this observatory. Able to get cheaper tickets if you book earlier.

Great place to be in the evening, right after sunset. The elevated walkway around downtown area is the best place to view the tower. This is highlight of downtown Shanghai with lots of shopping and dining options and metro nearby. Carry a jacket in winter months. Western dining options a few blocks away. Check out the photos

Amazing view - the top has a restaurant and at the bottom there is a shopping centre across the road in this district. There was also a walk through museum at the bottom of the tower.

One of the symbol of Shanghai, China I even brought a souvenir that looks like this unique tower, when I first saw this tower my can get may eyes on it, this is an icon, this is incredible!! It is photogenic in every angle. I can’t count how many times i take a picture with it lol it’s just amazing to see it pin person rather than in picture or video. Trust me it’s far better to see it personally 1 million percent!!! Its even more beautiful at night when the light show started…

We went on a weekday and there isn't a large crowd. The entrance to the tower is quite expensive as it didn't cover all the interesting levels. On the way down, they didn't allow us to take the ride all the way to the ground floor. We had to stop 3 times and were directed to take the stairs to the next elevator. This is to ensure guests pass through the game and souvenir areas. Taking the stairs down isn't suitable for seniors. Expect noisier crowd when compared to Taipei 101 and Yokohama Tower as the crowd there were not as rowdy. Walking on the glass panel is a must.

Must visit this famous tower on Shanghai's skyline. It is standing by the bank of the Huangpu River and has been the outstanding landmark of Shanghai since its completion in 1994. With a height of 468 meters, it was the tallest structure in China before 2007, now, it is the fifth highest tower in the world. Tower has fifteen observatory levels. The highest is at 351 m.

If you look to Shanghai from this tower, it's just normal view city at night, but look from the other side to this. It generous! Busy street at night, don't have a chance to go to the top!

One of the most iconic structure of Shanghai. You need to buy a ticket for going up to have the bird's eye view. Very wide view of Shanghai city, the Bund and Huanhpu river.

It used to be the pride of Shanghai but now you can look down at it from higher buildings. It is an attestment to the speed at which Shanghai and its city landscape are changing, and is reflective of Shanghai's status as the economic center of China.

One of the magnificent landmark of the populated city in China, the must visit city in China, you will be amazed with the tallest and ancient building plus the most beautiful scenery. Most places are crowded with people's head. This is what a big city look like.... It's really amazing and beautiful, I am lost of words. In short you need to need to be there to see it for yourself to feel the atmosphere. You will never regret and forgot what you have seen. So wait for you in Shanghai, see you there, OK?

The scenery was very nice when I came there at the end of last year (2023). The view was very nice blended with the sunset in the background. Even though visiting can cause a long walk around to and from different malls too, it is a sight not to miss. I also recommend getting down and going closer than the ring too ;)

Beautiful from the outside but perhaps dated for views of shanghai. We went to the Shanghai Tower instead.

A must-visit attraction, the tower showcases Shanghai's dynamic blend of history and innovation.

Great place to see Shanghai from 360deg. Have 2 observation deck..1 with glasses.

A stunning nighttime sight. You should take a river cruise at least once to see the beautiful tower at night. Definitely worth a shot 🫶

Amazing lightshow at 19:00 when the light goes on. In weekend very busy near the bund and tower. Enjoy the view.

Of the 3 well known modern business towers of Shanghai, i.e. Jin Mao, Oriental Pearl and Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl is the most noticeable from the mega-city’s skyline on the other side of the Huangpu River from the Bund. It is certainly the prettiest architecturally 😎. It’s mainly a TV and communication tower in the heart of modern Shanghai.

This is the imrpressive type of building you'd expect to see when u visit shangai. At the evening its even better with the colorfull lights on.

Beutiful place, very unique, all lit up at night! Very busy when we were there. Plan ahead if you want to enter

Beware of security at entrance of Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. A lady from security took my lighter. She put it in her pocket and promised to return it to me. When I left (20 minutes later or so) I asked for my lighter back at the checkpoint. The lady pointed towards a pile of lighters on the scanner and told me to pick one. I said mine was not there. She insisted I take one. I demanded mine. Little later I was surrounded by 4 people. They were nice and friendly and tried to help. I assume building security or police - two were plain clothed. In any case - I explained that it was a lighter my friend had gifted me. I explained that security put it in her pocket. She denied that she kept it. The people told me to take any lighter. I said that the next guy will look for his if I take one. Besides - its unhygienic and its not the one my friend hat gifted me. It was a storm lighter. Not too special or valuable but a gift. How can you enter Oriental Pearl Tower and end up losing your property kept by security check point? The people then tried to blame it on me. They said I should have asked for safe keeping as written on a sign. I once again pointed out that I asked for security to return it - she put it in her pocket and promised to return it. How is it not asking for safe keeping? They again talked to the security guard but she denied she put it in her pocket. I pointed at the cameras to emphasize they I spoke the truth. The now three people apologized to me so I left without filing a report but this is not OK. This in my eyes is theft. Why else would she lie about having put it in her pocket? Not a good look Oriental Pearl Tower. If one can lie about a lighter then one can lie about anything. This took place on 27th of August 2023. I entered the checkpoint at around 20:00 pm - plus or minus.

The view is absolutely stunning as the last floor spinning around slowly when ur having meal and the service is incredible. The food is merely diverse, i would say it’s not that delicious or anything special for me to memorise. It’s apparently just a nice experience, and it’s not worth to return.

I visited the aquarium and it was a really good experience. There were various species of fish and other marine animals.

Must see in Shanghai!! Beautiful engineering that will take your breath away!

Idk why the marker on google maps is on the wrong place, but yeah. I came here at least twice. I kind of remember playing arcade games on the upper levels when I was 5 or 6. I came here again in April 2018 I believe. Very cool, should go check out if you're in the area. There's a place where you can stand on glass and look down at the city.

Beautiful Pearl tower... Night view is amazing. The Bund experience left me wondering if i'll ever get to see a city like Shanghai being built in India during my lifetime!

Must visit place in Shanghai. Very nice view of the downtown Shanghai and around.

Wow... Amazing !! Can see the entire shanghai city... 1535 ft ... one of the tallest structure in China..

Bucket List. Not very many people here in November…… does Shanghai know something we don’t know?????? Hmmmmm
