What a pearl: the Oriental Pearl Tower is a must! - Put this on the top of your list for Shanghai! We loved it: highly recommend the 3 Balls option as it provides all the viewing opportunities provided: we gasped in disbelief at the multiple wonderful views of Shanghai at night: a wonderland of colour! Excellent: well worth every cent to experience this. TIP: do this one at night and book another tower (nearby) for the following morning: super to get two very different perspectives. We rate this 10/10.

Oriental Pearl - We built the day tower and the truth is that it is a unique experience. Too bad there are a lot of people inside, otherwise it is definitely worth taking the viewpoint, taking the tickets with China Travel Guide was a hit! Thank you Maria Xue!!!

Above and beyond expectations, this is Shanghai's Pearl of the East! - All highly recommended! We liked it, we went with my mom. The payment for the tickets was quick and we already had a ticket for the reserved date. We took a ticket for the third of August from 5 to 7 pm, so that we had the opportunity to admire the beautiful Shanghai sunset. We took a ticket for three balls of the tower at once, so that we could go without queues and directly to the elevators that work by floors of the tower. For the future, if you take a ticket for the two balls in the tower for the glass floor and the regular observation deck, you'll be in a big line. The third ball floor just has expositions dedicated to space. Prices are the same as on Chinese official websites for booking events. We had a blast~

Fantastic introduction to Shanghai! - Since it was a national holiday, the queues were long, but the atmosphere was nice and the lockers to store your bags for free! Viewings were stunning!

Worth a visit - Central locations with beautiful views, more experiences available than your average viewing tower. Recommend to see in Shanghai.

Cool must see, even if noisy - Cool place, and extra cool to walk on the glass floor. Too many screaming people and a bit too much comics. The third bubble is not much to see, but still a must.
