Anyone arriving in Shanghai at night from the airport for the first time is immediately attracted by the Oriental Pearl TV Tower(东方明珠电视塔), which stands out in the evening sky like an amazing space ship landing. Dramatic lighting effects make this unusual structure attractive.
This ultra-modern(超现代的)tower combines ancient concepts such as the spherical (球形的)pearls, with 21st century technology, commerce, recreation, educational and conference facilities. In 1995 it began broadcasting nine television channels and 10 FM radio channels. The construction began in 1991 and was completed in 1995. This 468-meter-high (1,536 feet) tower is the tallest tower in Asia, and the third tallest tower in the world.  The viewing area offers a great view of the most recently developed Special Economic Zone of Pudong(浦东经济开发区). Visitors travel up and down the tower in double-decker elevators that can hold up to fifty people at the rate of seven meters per second.
At the base of the tower is Pudong Park, which was designed as a contrast to the massive commercial development of the Special Economic Zone of Pudong. There are wonderful views across the Huang-Pu River from the "New Bund(新外滩)" to the original.
The tower has three observatory levels. The highest one (Space Module) is at 350m. The lower ones are at 263m (Sightseeing Floor) and at 90m (Space City). There is a revolving(旋转) restaurant at the 267m level. The project also contains exhibition facilities, restaurants and a shopping mall.
