A must-visit in Shanghai! The ultimate guide to the Oriental Pearl Tower's stunning night view

✨Hey friends, how can you miss the night view of the Oriental Pearl Tower when you come to Shanghai? Check out this super helpful guide and immerse yourself in the magical city nightscape. Transportation Guide We highly recommend taking the subway. Take Line 2 and exit from Exit 2 of Lujiazui Station. You can get up close and personal with the Oriental Pearl Tower within a few dozen meters walk, without worrying about traffic jams~ Ticket Purchase Book online in advance to save time queuing for tickets on-site. The standard ticket for the two spheres is a great deal, allowing you to enjoy both the 263m main observation deck and the 259m fully transparent suspended viewing corridor, taking in the entire Shanghai nightscape. Best Viewing Time 6-9 pm is the best time! Arrive around 6 pm to catch the last glimpse of daylight and overlook the entire city of Shanghai. As dusk falls between 7-8 pm, the lights of Lujiazui gradually illuminate, transforming both sides of the Huangpu River into a dazzling sea of lights. The night view before 9 pm is both brilliant and enchanting, perfect for taking stunning photos. Must-See Spots 1. 263m Main Observation Deck: Enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view. The entire city of Shanghai unfolds like a painting beneath your feet, with the towering skyscrapers of Lujiazui and the retro and magnificent architecture of the Bund, equally stunning day or night. 2. 259m Fully Transparent Suspended Viewing Corridor: Those afraid of heights might feel a little scared, but it's definitely worth the challenge! Standing on the glass, with the bustling streets and flowing river below, every step is a thrill, and the photos are especially amazing. 3. Revolving Restaurant (267m): Enjoy delicious food while admiring the scenery. The restaurant rotates once every 1-2 hours, allowing you to experience the Shanghai night view from all angles. Dine here at dusk and enjoy the transition from day to night for a truly unforgettable experience. Photography Tips 1. Outfit: Choose a simple and stylish outfit, such as a white dress or a black suit, which perfectly complements the dazzling night view, creating fashionable photos in an instant. 2. Poses: Pretend to be scared and walk carefully on the transparent viewing corridor; lean against the railing on the observation deck and look into the distance for an atmospheric silhouette shot; interact with the Oriental Pearl Tower by reaching out to touch or hug it. 3. Composition: Use the glass reflection to create a combination of real and virtual effects; use the Lujiazui skyscrapers as a backdrop to highlight the subject; try shooting from a low angle, placing the person in the lower third of the frame to make them appear taller. Helpful Tips 1. Check the weather in advance, as cloudy or rainy days may affect the viewing experience. 2. It can be windy at night, so remember to bring a jacket. 3. Be careful with your phone while taking photos, don't drop it~ 4. There are many street food stalls and restaurants nearby. After your visit, try some local Shanghai delicacies like shengjian bao and xiaolongbao. Friends, plan your visit and experience the breathtaking night view of the Oriental Pearl Tower!
