About this place
Located in Pudong Park in Lujiazui, Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower with the Yangpu Bridge in the northeast and the Nanpu Bridge in the southwest, creates a picture of "two dragons playing with a pearl". This magnificent scene attracts thousands of visitors all year long. This 468-meter-high tower is the world's third highest TV and radio tower. The entire structure rests on rich green grassland and gives the appearance of a pearl shinning on a jade plate. It is amazing that this ultra-modern TV tower combines ancient concepts such as the spherical pearls, with technology, commerce, recreation, educational and conference facilities of the 21st century.
