Iconic tower. - I couldn’t leave Shanghai without visiting Oriental Pearl Tower. It’s very kitchy inside, and hot/crowded at the time I visited. Honestly I preferred the viewing experience from Shanghai Tower, which offers an overview of OPT - and is more interesting when viewed from outside. A little dated now, but that gives it a special charm.

Pearl tower & Travel China Guide - Incredible experience from purchasing on-line tickets with Travel China Guide (days before flying to Shanghai & their efficient response gave much comfort in the company’s credibility especially for foreign visitors like myself 👍🏻) to getting up in the Pearl tower. It was amazing view and we stayed there at the observatory deck for more than two hours appreciating the view from evening to sunset and till night.

Pearl Tower experience - Great place to eat Western food and seafood. The view was great. And the glass floor was fun to walk on.

Great view of the Bund especially in the morning - The required QR code was sent to me in time and I could enter without any problems. The view is fantastic, but I wouldn’t necessarily have needed the 3-balls ticket as you can hardly see out from the highest “ball”. Overall a cool experience!

Very nice view over Shanghai's rooftops, good dinner - It is the second tower I have "climbed" in Shanghai. I had booked a ticket with dinner buffet. This, too, worked smoothly. I recommend going during the week and in the evening: I was there on Wednesday and since all other tourists probably go to the Bund in the evening, there was no crowd here 😉.

Average - Insanely long and slow moving queues and frankly not worth the wait. The views from the observation points were quite good but behind glass which was smudged and quite dirty so not so good for photos. There were also very long queues in order to leave the tower.
