The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is located in Pudong Park inShanghai. 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' and attracts thousands of visitors year-round. I don't really get the twin dragon part but that is the story they tell. There is a security dog at the gate and can you tell what is funny about him? Look closely.
This 468 meters high (1,536 feet) tower is the world's third tallest TV and radio tower surpassed in height only by towers in Toronto, Canada and Moscow, Russia. The tower's unique architectural design that makes the Oriental Pearl TV Tower one of the most attractive places anywhere. Check out the picture with Hope, see how the floor is "see through" and you can see the buildings below. We are only about half way up the tower and look how high it is!
