Pro tips to help you make a pick

Start your visit at the Shanghai History Museum on the ground floor to avoid crowds at the observation decks.

If you’re acrophobic, solid-floor paths are available around the glass skywalk—no need to step on the transparent panels.

Pre-booking tickets online skips the ticket purchase queue, but all visitors must still pass through security and elevator lines.

Dedicated elevators for the revolving restaurant allow you to bypass the main elevator queue—ideal during peak times.

Check Shanghai’s air quality before your visit; clear days after rainfall offer the best visibility from the observation decks.

About Oriental Pearl TV Tower

A highlight of any Shanghai skyline adventure, the Oriental Pearl Tower delivers a complete vertical journey—three observation decks, a transparent glass skywalk, and a history museum all under one roof. Whether you’re chasing city views, architectural wonders, or family-friendly thrills, this observation deck is a cornerstone of Shanghai’s must-see collection.

Did you know?

The Oriental Pearl Tower’s design was inspired by a Tang Dynasty poem, with its 11 spheres representing pearls falling onto a jade plate.

At 468 meters, it was China’s tallest structure until 2007 and remains one of the world’s most distinctive TV towers.

The 259-meter glass skywalk was China’s first 360-degree transparent observation corridor, with each glass panel supporting several tons.

The tower houses the Shanghai History Museum at its base, featuring life-size recreations of 1920s–1930s Shanghai streets.

A double-decker elevator carries up to 50 passengers at 7 meters per second, reaching the main deck in about 40 seconds.

Why visit Oriental Pearl TV Tower?

Enjoy breathtaking 360-degree panoramas from three distinct observation decks, including the 263m main deck and the 351m Space Capsule, offering unique perspectives of Shanghai’s skyline, the Bund, and the Huangpu River.

Step onto China’s first 259-meter-high transparent glass walkway for an adrenaline rush as you gaze straight down at the city below—an unforgettable experience for thrill-seekers and photographers alike.

Immersive Shanghai History Museum

Explore over 10,000 square meters of exhibits, including wax figures and recreated 1930s streets, bringing Shanghai’s vibrant past to life—all included with your tower entry.

Dazzling Nighttime Light Shows

Witness the tower’s 11 spheres come alive with rotating LED patterns at dusk, transforming the skyline into a luminous spectacle best viewed from the Bund or the observation decks.
