Must-visit check-in spot in Shanghai! Ultimate guide to the Oriental Pearl Tower night view

✨ Everyone, how can you miss the night view of the Oriental Pearl Tower when you come to Shanghai! Here’s a super thoughtful guide to immerse you in the magic of the city’s nightscape. Transportation Guide Highly recommend taking the subway. Exit from Lujiazui Station on Line 2, Exit 2, then walk just a few dozen meters to get up close and personal with the Pearl Tower. No need to worry about traffic jams at all~ Ticket Purchase Booking online in advance can save you the time of queuing on-site. For example, the standard ticket for the second sphere is very cost-effective, allowing you to enjoy the 263-meter main observation deck and the 259-meter fully transparent skywalk, taking in the entire Shanghai night view. Best Viewing Time 6-9 PM is ideal! Arrive around 6 PM to catch the tail end of daylight and overlook the whole city of Shanghai; by 7-8 PM, as the sky darkens and the city lights come on, Lujiazui’s lights light up one by one, and both sides of the Huangpu River instantly transform into a sea of dazzling lights; the night view before 9 PM is brilliant and charming, perfect for photos. Must-visit Check-in Spots 1. 263-meter Main Observation Deck: 360-degree unobstructed views, the entire Shanghai spreads out like an unfolding painting beneath your feet. Lujiazui’s skyscrapers stand tall, and the Bund’s historic buildings are both vintage and magnificent, stunning both day and night. 2. 259-meter Fully Transparent Skywalk: Those afraid of heights might feel a bit scared, but it’s definitely worth the challenge! Standing on the glass floor, below you are bustling streets and the flowing river. Every step quickens your heartbeat, and photos come out especially stunning. 3. Sky Rotating Restaurant (267 meters): Enjoy delicious food while admiring the view. The restaurant completes a full rotation every 1-2 hours, letting you experience Shanghai’s nightscape from all angles. Dining at dusk lets you enjoy the transition from day to night, maximizing the experience. Photo Tips 1. Outfit: Choose a simple and stylish look, such as a white dress or a black suit, which pairs perfectly with the sparkling night view, making every shot look like a fashion magazine cover. 2. Poses: On the transparent skywalk, pretend to be scared and walk carefully; on the observation deck, lean on the railing and gaze into the distance for a moody silhouette; you can also interact with the Oriental Pearl Tower, like reaching out to touch or hugging it. 3. Composition: Use glass reflections to create a blend of reality and illusion; use the Bund’s historic buildings or Lujiazui’s skyscrapers as the background to highlight the subject; try low-angle shots with the person placed in the lower third of the frame to emphasize height. Helpful Tips 1. Check the weather in advance, as rainy or overcast days may affect the viewing experience. 2. It can be windy at night, so remember to bring a jacket to keep warm. 3. Be careful with your phone when taking photos—don’t drop it! 4. There are many snack stalls and restaurants nearby. After visiting, try some Shanghai specialties like pan-fried buns and soup dumplings. Everyone, start planning now and go experience the breathtaking night view of the Oriental Pearl Tower!
