Shanghai

This unique television tower is one of Shanghai's most distinct landmarks. Standing 1,535 feet high, the futuristic-looking building features 11 spheres, both big and small, and was said to have been designed with the pearl in mind, a reoccurring symbol in Chinese culture. At night and framed by cherry blossoms in the surrounding gardens, this iconic tower is a sight to behold!

This photo of the Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower was taken from the garden surrounding the tower, looking up through a frame of cherry blossoms. To get here, take Line 2 to Lujiazui Station. Head west on Fenghei Rd, head through the roundabout, and walk straight until you read the gardens surrounding the Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower. I positioned myself in the gardens directly south of the tower.
