Two completely different experiences at the Oriental Pearl Tower!

1️⃣ The first time I visited the Oriental Pearl Tower was in July 2018, when I bought a ticket for the two spheres. Ticket Price🎫: 199 Although it's been five years, the memory is still vivid. I queued for three hours and enjoyed the view for 10 minutes. Personally, I didn't find it very interesting. The view from the top was nice, but the observation deck at 263 meters was so crowded that there was no space to take photos at leisure📷, and the experience wasn't great. (The transparent glass floor was also quite worn and scratched) 2⃣️ The second time I went to the Oriental Pearl Tower was in August this year, and I bought a ticket for the revolving restaurant, which includes tower admission and a meal. Ticket Price🎫: Adult 418 The revolving restaurant has a special elevator passage, with about a half-hour wait. The restaurant offers a 360-degree view, which is perfect for taking photos and checking in📷, without the need to squeeze through crowds. There's also a wide variety of dishes, and personally, I think the price is very reasonable compared to the 199 ticket, as it's only a couple hundred more. After dining, you can take a special staircase to the next level's glass observation deck, which is the same 263-meter transparent observation layer, and it's really crowded❗️❗️❗️ Personally, I think the view from the revolving restaurant is more than enough, and after the meal, you can take a special elevator down (at the time, I didn't know this and went to the 263-meter observation deck, which meant queuing for the regular elevator).
