I used to live in an apartment right next to the Pearl Tower (for a year), which gave me a view of it from my bedroom window. It lights up and changes colours when the night falls. This can either be exciting or tacky depending on how you see it. The Grand Hyatt next to it (Jinmao, in Mandarin) was... more

I was attending a conference in Shanghai Intl Convention Centre, which is right next to the perl tower. I could see the tower at different times during the day. The architecture is very very impressive and you get a real kick when you see it with the lights... Great! more

The place is really worth seeing. The ride up to the 276th floor is so fast, unbelievable. The restraurant on the top floor offers average food but is it not that bad, even for European stomachs, but it is no thrill, the view is however phanstastic and it is not so crowded like the visitors floors below. The style of... more

In May 2006, like many visitors to Shanghai, read up about finding the best vantage point to see this amazing city from a great height. Did the Cloud Nine view from the Jin MaoTower, Grand Hyatt Hotel but then thought ...why not pay RMB 100 and go up to the observation posts of the Pearl Tower? Both views were so... more

What a dud. A very disappointing 'sight.' At most take a quick hop on the metro to the Liujiazul Lu stop at Pudong. The stop is right in front of the building. Snap some photos and head to more interesting sites. Please save your money and skip the elevator ride to the top. This is no Eiffel tower. The view... more

Really not worth paying RMB180 to go up to the Oriental Pearl Tower for dinner. The food are terrible & the staff are unfriendly. The so called buffet is actually really limited choice & the food are not fresh, could be some left over from the day before. Staff even had a pick using hand & eat standing behind the... more
