Shanghai Original Pearl Tower

• The Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the tallest in Asia and the third of the TV towers in the world, is situated in the tip of Lu Jia Zui of the east of Huangpu River. Its opposite is the universal architectural complex in the Bund.
• The tower is 468 meters high. The body of the tower consists of eleven spheres, not of uniform size. They strew at random at different heights in the tower body and connected in series from the blue sky to the verdant sward.
• We can see three pillars to support the whole building. The Oriental Pearl Tower has a restaurant and visitor watch area. The facility can fulfill the customer's needs.
• The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is the symbol of Shanghai. Essentially a communications tower, the tower was designed with dual usage which also includes viewing platforms.
• The tower has three observatory levels. The highest is at 350 meters and is called the Space Module. The second is at 263 and 259 meters and is called the Sightseeing Floor. And the lowest, the Space City, is at 90 meters.
• The top sphere called The Space Module is situated 350 meters above the ground and offers the best views of Shanghai, but closer sites like the Bund are not as visible from that height.
• The second sphere is located 259 to 267 meters above the ground and has three levels. The top one is a revolving restaurant. The lower two levels are viewing platforms with little shops and bathrooms inside. The lower level has no windows and is not as crowded as the air-conditioned middle level. The lower sphere is located 90 meters above the ground. It features a sightseeing platform and roller coaster inside of it.
