Oriental Pearl Tower

After the Maglev, we made our way to Lujiazui to visit the viewing platform at the Oriental Pearl Tower. Interestingly, this place has an entry in Atlas Obscura:https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/oriental-pe….

At the Oriental Pearl Tower, we purchased the RMB160 package. Our first stop was the viewing platform at 263 meters high, where we enjoyed views over the Hunagpu River and into the distance. After that, we walked downstairs to the 259 meter which featured a glass floor. Jeff enjoyed filming himself "falling"; I kept my distance!

Our third stop was the 98 meter viewing platform which was outdoors. After that, we went to the ground floor to visit the Shanghai History Museum which was included in the ticket. The museum itself had some interesting highlights, but it didn't really hold my attention.Les mer
