点评:Since Shanghai is known as “The Pearl of the Orient”, it is only natural that it will have an “Oriental Pearl Tower” as its most famous landmark.
The Pearl Tower is a TV Tower with a massive antenna and was built between 1990 and 1994. It was inaugurated in 1995. It is spectacular – no matter where you see it from. The design, the colors, the architecture all make it very iconic.
We photographed this beauty from every angle possible and during various times. On the day that we arrived to go to the top, there was a sign stating that the wait time to go up was 2.5 hours because of the number of people in line. It would have been approximately the same time to come back down, so we decided not to go to the top and went to the Shanghai Tower instead. It was disappointing. We really did want to be able to make it to the top but did not have that much time set aside in our busy tourist schedule.
It is beautifully lit up at night in a variety of colors.
翻译:上海素有“东方明珠”之称,拥有“东方明珠塔”作为其最著名的地标也就不足为奇了。
东方明珠塔是一座电视塔,拥有巨大的天线,建于1990年至1994年,并于1995年正式启用。无论从哪个角度欣赏,它都令人叹为观止。其设计、色彩和建筑风格都使其成为上海的标志性建筑。
我们从各个角度、在不同的时间拍摄了这座美丽的建筑。在我们到达准备登塔的那天,看到告示牌显示由于排队人数众多,登塔等待时间为2.5小时。下塔也需要大约相同的时间,所以我们决定放弃登塔,转而前往上海中心大厦。这让我们感到有些失望。我们真的很想登上塔顶,但由于行程安排紧凑,时间有限。
夜晚,东方明珠塔灯光璀璨,五彩缤纷,美不胜收。
