Imagine visiting China for the first time in your life and spending your first evening strolling through Shanghai. I no longer need to imagine it because I’ve done it. No photograph can convey the emotions and feelings I experienced there. It was incredibly beautiful, so much so that tears uncontrollably welled up in my eyes from the grandeur of what I saw. This city completely immerses you in the glow of its lights and the height of its buildings. In the Lujiazui district, you get a view of the famous Oriental Pearl Tower, the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), and the Shanghai Tower. Simply magical! We also went up to a restaurant with a panoramic view on the 91st floor of one of the skyscrapers. We had a beer there, admired the city from above, and then set out to find a more affordable place for dinner. We found a local eatery, had some noodles and soup there—of course, with some caution and doubts—but everything turned out fine. I was very surprised by the lack of crowds. The later it got, the more it felt like we were the only ones in the city. After wandering through the empty streets among the skyscrapers, we headed back to the hotel. The emotions were overwhelming, but this was only the first day, and a great adventure lay ahead. More about that in the next post.

Shanghai's first true landmark literally changed the game when it popped up on an empty patch of land! The Oriental Pearl Tower, completed in 1994, totally transformed the city’s vibe—before then, there was just open space and a hopeful vision for Pudong’s future. Now, this tower is THE symbol of modern Shanghai. Standing at a jaw-dropping 468 meters, its space-age spheres are impossible to miss! 🚀 If you’re into those views that just take your breath away, the glass skywalk at 259 meters is an absolute must-do—sky-high selfies, anyone?! 🤳 You’ll find the Oriental Pearl Tower right in the heart of Lujiazui: Address: 1 Century Ave, Pudong, Shanghai, China Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 9:30 PM (last entry at 8:30 PM) Pro tip: Go around sunset for those golden hour city lights—sooo worth it. 😍 Plus, there’s a revolving restaurant if you want to feel extra fancy while you soak in the 360° views! This spot is the definition of “glow up”—from empty land to world-famous WOW. Don’t forget to grab your tickets hassle-free on trip.com and make this a key stop on your Shanghai adventure!
