Pearl Tower - Shanghai


Pearl Tower

Height 468Metres

Built - Finished in 1994

Whilst the Shanghai Tower is taller and has a higher observation deck, people flock to the Pearl Tower for its glass floor. It was great, although you could feel the movement of the tower when the wind blew up. The kids loved lying on the floor and getting photos. I even braved it. With such clear skies it provided great views, much better than last time I was there. You could see the sea from the observation deck.

The highest observation deck is at 350 metres. The middle observation level, which is the level that has the glass floor is at 263meters.  On the way down the students tried the Virtual Reality Roller Coaster. It was a roller coaster inside the Pearl Tower and you wore VR googles. The students loved it, as did the big kids that went on it (teachers). At 70RMB it was a bit on the expensive side but from all reports it was worth it.
