Oriental Pearl Tower

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is located in Pudong Park in Lujiazui by

the side of Huangpu river, opposite The Bund of Shanghai. The tower,

surrounded by the Yangpu Bridge in the northeast and the Nanpu Bridge

in the southwest, creates a picture of 'twin dragons playing with

pearls'. The entire scene is a photographic jewel that excites the

imagination and attracts thousands of visitors year-round. It was

designed by Jia Huan Cheng of the Shanghai Modern Architectural Design

Co. Ltd. Construction began in 1991 and the tower was completed in

1995. At 468 m (1,535 feet) high, it is the tallest tower in Asia, and

the third tallest TV and radio tower in the world surpassed in height

only by towers in Toronto, Canada and Moscow, Russia. The design of

the building is based on a verse of the Tang Dynasty poem Pipa Song by

Bai Juyi about the wonderful sprinkling music sound by a pipa

instrument, like pearls, big and small faling on a jade plate. The

Oriental Pearl Tower consits of big and small balls, 11 in total. It

is as if they are pearls falling down from the sky above on a jade

plate, represented by the Huangpu river. The photo was taken from a

boat floating over the Huangpu river.
