🌆🚀The Oriental Pearl Tower is so futuristic! This angle of the Bund is absolutely divine for capturing the "Shanghai Three-Piece Set"! 🚀🌆

#NovemberDestinations2025 Finally, I got a photo with the Oriental Pearl Tower! Standing on the Bund across the Huangpu River, that pinkish-purple sphere paired with the towering Shanghai Tower next to it really gave me the illusion of having stumbled into a "Cyberpunk 2077" world—it felt so unreal! 🤖 Especially at night when it's lit up, the neon lights on the opposite bank reflected on the river, creating an overwhelming sense of dazzling prosperity. Although it was very windy on the observation deck, looking at this building that resembled an alien spaceship, I was truly captivated by the charm of this city. Forget the crowded main streets; find the right angle, and you too can take stunning photos of Shanghai without any crowds! ⸻ 📝Oriental Pearl Tower & Bund Photography Tips (A must-read for featured shots!) • 📸 God-tier shooting location: "Zhapu Road Bridge": Don't just squeeze onto Nanjing East Road! Head north to the "Zhapu Road Bridge," where you can capture both the "Waibaidu Bridge" and the "Oriental Pearl Tower" in a single shot – the legendary "Master's Spot" – for an incredibly clean and crisp image! • 🚢 2 Yuan Ferry View: Take the 2-yuan ferry (Dongjin Line) with your transportation card. Shoot the Oriental Pearl Tower from a low angle on the boat for a more powerful and awe-inspiring effect. • 💡 Lights Off Alert: The landscape lights usually turn off promptly at 10:00 PM (or 11:00 PM). Don't wait until the last minute to take night photos; once the lights are off, the scene becomes ordinary. • 🥤 Instagrammable Drink Check-in: Buy a cup of "Grandpa's Tea" or a coffee cup with "Shanghai" on it, raise it to a toast with the Oriental Pearl Tower – this photo will get tons of likes on Instagram. • 🚶 The North Bund is even more beautiful: If you prefer tranquility, head towards the "North Bund Riverside Green Space." From there, you'll have a direct view of the Oriental Pearl Tower, and it's less crowded with plenty of grass, allowing you to sit and enjoy the view at your own pace. This tower is truly futuristic; if you want to take the trendiest and most undisturbed photos in Shanghai, you absolutely can't miss it! 🔮🌃✨
