Description: The iconic building on the left of Pudong’s business towers is the Oriental Pearl Tower (Dōngfāng Míngzhūtǎ, 东方明珠塔). Gaudy and impractical, it somehow sums up the spirit of 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)
