Oriental Pearl TV Tower
For many visitors to Shanghai, the best thing is to go up Pudong's Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the new symbol of Shanghai. When the night is coming, under the reflection of multi-colored lamps, the slim and graceful demeanor is more fascinating. The 11 steel structured round balls are just like 11 shining pearls embedded on the body of the tower, form poetic conception of big and small pearls dropping down on the Jade disc.
