The Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower was once the tallest building in China – from 1994-2007. Then, it was later eclipsed by the modern Shanghai World Financial Center.
Today, the tower is the 5th tallest in the world.
A friend of mine once told me that his Shanghainese friend told him that the tower resembles that of twin dragons playing with pearls.
I guarantee that you will be shanghaied by The Bund at night. The city’s skyline views after sunset are breathtaking. You do not need to join a night tour – just go there by yourself and enjoy it.
Don’t worry much about security. The Bund promenade has police officers on duty everywhere. Not to mention the cameras that seem to follow you wherever you go.
The flickering neon lights of the skyscrapers across the Huangpu River are mesmerizing.
But before getting too excited to see Shanghai skyline at night, how about a dinner with a view?
