Description: The iconic building is the Oriental Pearl Tower (Dōngfāng Míngzhūtǎ, 东方明珠塔), set among the beehive of business that is Pudong. Gaudy and impractical, it somehow sums up the spirit of modern Shanghai better than the remaining “historic” buildings.
Location: Pudong (Pǔdōng Xīn Qū , 浦東新區), looking across the Huangpu River (Huángpŭ Jiāng, 黃浦江) from The Bund (Wàitān, 外灘), Shànghǎi (上海市), People’s Republic of China (Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó, 中华人民共和国)
