Oriental Pearl TV Tower Look Down

To get an aerial shot of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, I stood across the Huangpu River along the Wusong River near the intersection of North Suzhou Road and Daming Road. There, you will see a path where you can stand that's away from traffic. Fly your drone southeast across the river and toward the tower where you'll get this aerial view. By Metro: - Closest Station: Tiantong Rd (Line 10 or 12) - Take exit 3 and then turn right on Tiantong Rd - Turn right on Jiangxi N Rd - Turn left on North Suzhou Rd and continue on the road until you reach the path off the road (near Daming Rd)

I recommend photographing the tower from April-August when the greenery is in full bloom.

Head to this location at sunrise or in the early morning when the buildings are basking in the gentle sunlight. It's also beautiful to photograph the tower at night! The city lights will be aglow and it will give your image a completely new look.

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements.

Be mindful when flying above the tower. You don't want your drone to hit the buildings.

Positioning your drone in the middle of the tower will give you a look down perspective with clear views of the patterned architecture atop the buildings.

The tower is photogenic from all angles. Fly around and take multiple perspectives!

There are many hotels, restaurants and shops in the area. Explore and see what you can find!
