The ultimate guide to the Oriental Pearl Tower ✨ You won't want to leave once you're here

🎫 Ticketing: Buy your tickets in advance via the official WeChat account or online platforms. The dual-tier ticket offers great value, granting access to both the 263-meter main observation deck and the 259-meter suspended skywalk.

🕙 Timing: Arrive around 5 PM to enjoy the daytime views, then wait for the sunset and night skyline—breathtakingly beautiful.

🚇 Transportation: Exit from Metro Line 2, Lujiazui Station, Exit 1, and walk just a few minutes to reach the tower.

🌟 Must-Do Experiences:

• Walk on the 259-meter suspended skywalk, where you'll feel hundreds of meters above the ground—those afraid of heights should proceed with caution. It's perfect for stunning photos; consider wearing bright-colored clothing.

• Visit the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center (ground level) for an immersive experience of old Shanghai's charm.

🍔 Dining: The revolving restaurant inside the tower is a bit pricey but offers a romantic dining experience with panoramic views; there are plenty of food options at Plaza 66 right outside the tower.

📸 Photography: Besides the various observation decks, taking upward shots from the external bridges creates a fantastic atmosphere, especially during the mesmerizing nighttime view.

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Bring your ID card, as entry requires real-name registration.

• High heels and selfie sticks are prohibited on the transparent glass walkway.
