Oriental Pearl Tower

The Oriental Pearl Tower is one of the highest towers in Shanghai. It offers a 360 view of the whole city, and is an iconic part of the Shanghai skyline.

At the top there is a walking area with a clear floor, allowing you to see straight down to the foot of the tower. Walking along this may seem simple enough, but it can be a test of nerves to someone with vertigo.

Dubbed "the Venice of China", this district of Shanghai is definitely worth a visit if you have time. It's a fairly long bus ride out of the city centre, but easy enough to get to.

It may not be as pretty as the real Venice, but it certainly is a pretty and interesting place to walk around for a few hours.
