Pearl Tower Views, Sky High and Totally Worth It

#chinatravel Going up the Oriental Pearl Tower is one of those classic Shanghai things you just gotta do. It’s super tall, super pink, and kinda funky looking, but the view? Absolute fire. From the top, you get this unreal 360 view of the whole city, skyscrapers, the Bund, the crazy traffic, and the endless sprawl of buildings that go forever. There’s a glass floor section up there that’s kinda terrifying but fun if you’re into that. Pro tip: don’t look down if you’re scared of heights, or do and scream a little, it’s part of the experience. Go right before sunset if you can. You’ll get the best of both worlds, daylight shots and the city lighting up at night. Magic. There’s also a mini museum at the base about old Shanghai. It’s cool for a quick walk through, nothing too deep. It gets busy, especially on weekends, so book ahead or go early. Totally touristy, totally awesome. A solid way to see Shanghai from the sky.
