🚀🤖The Oriental Pearl Tower during the day is so futuristic! The pink sphere against the blue sky—this is truly the pinnacle of Shanghai's aesthetic appeal! 🤖🚀

#NovemberDestinations2025 Seeing the Oriental Pearl Tower up close makes you wonder if you've stumbled into an alien base! ☀️ It's a completely different experience during the day. Without the colorful neon lights at night, the original concrete texture paired with the enormous pink spheres creates a retro-sci-fi vibe! Especially when standing at the base and looking up, the three spheres strung together soaring into the sky are a breathtaking sight that can make you dizzy. 🤖 Walking on the circular pedestrian bridge in Lujiazui, with this behemoth behind you, any pose you strike looks like you're filming Star Wars. If you like that clean, hardcore futuristic feel, daytime is definitely better for taking photos than nighttime! ⸻ 📝Daytime Oriental Pearl Tower Photography & Travel Tips (Super Useful!) • 🌉 Must-Visit Spot: The Circular Pedestrian Bridge: No need to buy a ticket to enter; just go directly onto the "Lujiazui Circular Pedestrian Bridge." This is the ultimate spot for taking photos with the Oriental Pearl Tower! You can perfectly frame yourself and the entire tower together, and even capture the Shanghai Tower next to it. • 📸 Low-angle shot: Walk directly under the tower, hold your phone close to the ground and shoot upwards. Using a wide-angle lens, you can make the three spheres look like a "skewer of candied hawthorns"—the geometric lines are incredibly striking. • 👣 Transparent Skywalk: If you buy a ticket, walking on the 259-meter-long "transparent glass walkway" during the day is a hundred times more terrifying than at night! You can see the traffic and buildings below clearly—your heart rate will be 100%. • ☀️ Note the best time to visit: It's recommended to come between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, when the sunlight on the spheres is at its most saturated. Going in the morning might result in some backlighting, making your face look dark. • 🥤 Photo with your drink: Buy a coffee with "Shanghai" printed on it, stand on the skybridge, raise it up, and toast with the Oriental Pearl Tower. This kind of "Instagrammable" photo is super popular on Instagram and Xiaohongshu. This tower has an indescribable magic when viewed during the day; if you want to take photos with an alien futuristic feel and flood your social media feed, you absolutely can't miss it! 🔮🏙️✨
