The Oriental Pearl Tower (Chinese: 东方明珠塔; pinyin: Dōngfāng Míngzhūtǎ) is the highest TV Tower in Asia. The Oriental Pearl Tower stands opposite to the Bund in the Pudong area of Shanghai. Located on the bank of the Huangpu River, it is 468 meters high which makes it the highest TV tower in Asia and the third highest tower in the world. From the sightseeing floor, you can get a bird's eye view of the exciting city of Shanghai.

The architectural design of this tower looks like series of large and small balls arranging from top to bottom falling from sky on to a green field. This building gets some inspiration from a line in a famous Chinese poem: "large and small pearls falling on the jade plate" which conceives the deep connotation of the oriental culture.

The dazzlingly brilliant upper tower sightseeing layer has the width of 45meters, the height of 263meters which is the best overlooking place in Shanghai. If you want to further enjoy a full 360-degree view of Shanghai, and have something to eat, the spinning restaurant can provide you that enjoyment. On the highest tower of Asia, this restaurant revolves itself every hour, so you can have a full view of Shanghai while you enjoy the meals.

The space cabin is about 350 meters from the ground up, and is located at the highest part of the TV tower. The cabin provides the meeting room and the cafeteria. Moving slowly in this spacious and carefully designed modern cabin, you will feel like in the real space cabin and appreciate the scenic sights along the Huangpu River.

There are seven elevators going up and down at a high speed through the tower. They conveniently transport the tourists between balls. When the night comes, colorful and beautiful lighting illuminate Oriental Pearl TV Tower like strings of luminous pearls on the sky of Shanghai. The scenery makes Shanghai, a city known as "Oriental Pearl", more beautiful.
