Experience the transparent sightseeing corridor in person

At the beginning of this year, I went on a free trip during the New Year. I saw Shanghai for the first time. In addition to going to Disneyland, I also came to the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower

Take the elevator inside the tower and go straight to the fully transparent sightseeing gallery, overlooking the entire Pudong, the Bund and the city skyline from an altitude of 250 meters - that kind of "people in the giant city, heart in the clouds" is really a lifetime must try🤩. On this trip, I could see electronic screens showing different floors

🌟List of itinerary highlights
This route can walk through the highlights around the Pearl of the Orient at once, whether you want to feel the modern city, take pictures of Shanghai architectural icon, or enjoy the night view along the river. The fully transparent sightseeing gallery is a must-see, the shock is beyond imagination. If this is your first time cruising on the Huangpu River, the scenery along the river after lighting up is so beautiful that you can’t wait to blink!
