How can you not be fascinated by the Oriental Pearl?

You often hear people talk about the Oriental Pearl🌠, but what exactly is it🤔?

Actually, it is the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai, a landmark building of the city. The Oriental Pearl Tower combines the structures of the universe, rockets, and atoms, with a unique design concept that integrates elements of Eastern culture. It consists of three columns with a diameter of 9 meters, a space capsule, and 11 spheres of different sizes arranged in an orderly manner. The overall architectural design is ingenious, majestic, yet aesthetically pleasing, adding a unique landscape to Shanghai. Among the three towering pillars, there are high-speed elevators moving at 7 meters per second and a 360-degree transparent sightseeing elevator, making it truly one of a kind in the world. When night falls, the two huge spheres of the Oriental Pearl Tower and the two globe spheres of the Shanghai International Convention Center below light up and shine brilliantly, echoing each other to form a romantic and spectacular scene.🌉

Besides this tower, Shanghai’s beauty also includes relics left from the colonial era of the last century. The Bund’s architectural complex showcases a variety of historical buildings, including European-style architecture, neoclassical buildings, and skyscrapers, reflecting Shanghai’s historical diversity and international development🏛️.

The scenery along both sides of the Huangpu River attracts many tourists and photography enthusiasts to visit and take pictures. Especially at night, the buildings on the Bund are brightly lit, decorating the night sky and presenting a charming night view, becoming one of Shanghai’s most iconic nighttime landscapes🌇🌃.

In addition to admiring the architecture, visitors can also stroll along the riverside promenade at the Bund, enjoy the river and night views, and feel the romantic atmosphere of Shanghai. The area around the Bund also has many shops, restaurants, and cafes, offering various entertainment and leisure options, allowing visitors to have a pleasant time here☕️.

Compared to the morning, there are more visitors at night, and sometimes it can be so crowded that you can’t get up. Everyone can choose the time based on their habits and preferences📸.
