The Oriental Pearl is a well-deserved landmark in Shanghai. With a total height of 468 meters, it was the tallest TV tower in China when it was completed in 1994. Its shape is beautiful and advanced, and it can always form a unity with the Lujiazui building group. What's more, the Oriental Pearl has also been recognized by the market, receiving 3 million guests every year, and its total revenue has exceeded 1.9 billion yuan (including advertising revenue) in just ten years of operation, leaving the Eiffel Tower behind.
The façade of the TV tower building is quite distinctive, if you check the network information, you will find that the designer painstakingly constructed the intention of "big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate". Great ideas are often born by chance, when the "chopsticks balls" shaped TV tower, led by the Stuttgart Tower, became very popular; The intention of "bamboo shoots breaking ground" represents Shanghai's take-off, which can better meet the requirements of Party A. The fusion of the two schemes not only breaks the convention, but is not too cutting-edge, and the Oriental Pearl composed of "lower ball", "upper ball" and "space capsule" was born.
The "lower ball" is about 50 meters in diameter, and its lower half houses a 240° surround screen theater. The cinema looks forward to the future life through panoramic digital images, which can be called majestic with the cooperation of the ground curtain. The indoor roller coaster on the upper half of the floor was originally a bit backward, but after being equipped with VR technology, it can be used to experience the "Lujiazui Cloud Shuttle", which makes many guests addicted.
Located at an altitude of 260 meters, the "Upper Ball" has a suspended sightseeing promenade with excellent effect, and the vast traffic is at your feet. Those who are uncomfortable at high altitude may wish to move to the subjective light floor upstairs, where they can not only have a panoramic view of the Bund, but also lack a sense of "down-to-earth" security.
Located at 351 meters, the capsule has a futuristic interior and the reception staff are dressed in silver uniforms to harmonize with the environment. There are many interactive projects in the exhibition hall, but they all use electronic technology, and their viewing windows are narrow, and they do not highlight the characteristics of high altitude, and the cost performance is average.
The Oriental Pearl is a complex integrating viewing, entertainment, catering and shopping, and the Shanghai Urban History Development Exhibition Hall with an exhibition area of more than 6,000 square meters is located on the ground floor. The exhibition hall is composed of seven parts: "Huating Traceability", "City Style", "Glimpse of the Port", "Ten Miles of Ocean", "Sea Tracking", "Architectural Expo" and "Spring and Autumn of Carriages and Horses", compared with the Shanghai History Museum, the exhibition hall is more of the atmosphere of market life, and its exhibits are mainly wax figures, automatic machinery, videos, models, interactive, and more intuitive. Located at 267 meters, the famous revolving restaurant offers Japanese and Western food in a buffet style, with a decent atmosphere but a decent taste.
