It has been over a decade since I last visited China.
All I could remember was having a hard time communicating what I want. My aunt
even had to go inside the kitchen
to point out that we wanted rice with our dishes.
Yes, that happened. Anyway, this time around, we went to Shanghai, Suzhou and
Wuxi for a packed tour
of the must-see places. And our first stop in Shanghai was…
Oriental Pearl TV Tower!
It’s hard to miss Oriental
Pearl TV Tower
(or OPG which stands for Oriental Pearl Group) with its bead like structure. It
used t be the tallest tower in Shanghai till two other skyscrapers surpassed
it.
For 160 Yuan (or PHP1,120) per
head, we were able to gain access of the observation
deck and the glass-floor skywalk which is 1,535 feet off the ground.
The place was packed when we
visited.
We had to wait for about 10-15 minutes for us to get to the elevator which
will lead us to the 263rd floor.
There we got a beautiful
view of Shanghai and its ports.
I was awed with how much
business flows through its ports in one day.
