The symbol of Shanghai - A must-see attraction of Shanghai. There are many points of view. The nicest is a glass floor at the second level. So it seems you walk suspended… but also the first level is nice. Go downstairs one floor from video games and there is an open terrace. Third floor is not suggested because of the clouds, that often involve also the second floor. But the experience is necessary if you visit Shanghai.

Amazing views, sub-par food - The tour around the tower was good, but the main viewing points were so crowded you could t reach the window to see out properly and people didn’t view and then move away as they sat there for ages. Amazing views of the city and river though. If you book the food buffet, you get all you can eat food and drinks, but it is very mass catered food. The revolving floor is incredibly slow moving - we didn’t even get half way round in the hour we were there.

Cool Experience, but not mandatory to do - The pearl tower is the staple of Shanghai. when you are in it, that means you cannot see it; if that makes sense. If you are only visiting for a short time, you do not have to go inside the tower or to the top. Also the dinner was 3 stars at max. The food was not that great, and the rotation speed of the restaurant was very slow for obvious reasons. This is one of those bookings you make just to say that you did it, not so much to enjoy for a long period of time. If I can redo it, I would choose not to eat here and pick another place in Shanghai to eat.

Pretty average experience - View was nice but extremely crowded. Food at the buffet was nothing to write home about although pleasant enough area. Deliberately unclear from the booking that the space capsule was not included in the ticket - apparently we need to have a three balls ticket but not entirely sure how to get that. We were very disappointed to be turned away from getting access. Also, you can get this for significantly cheaper if you book via other sites or locally. Wouldn’t recommend overall - not a must see for Shanghai
