| The Oriental Pearl Tower stands by the bank of Huangpu River. It is in the centre of Lujiazui, opposite to the Bund which is famous for its grand buildings of various architectural styles. At 468 m (1,535 feet) high, it is the tallest tower in Asia, and the third tallest tower in the world. Its design is based on a verse of the Tang Dynasty poem Pipa Song by Bai Juyi about the wonderful sprinkling sound |

| of a pipa instrument, like pearls, big and small falling on a jade plate. Seen from afar, the Yangpu Bridge and the Nanpu bridge seem like two Chinese dragons frolicking with the pearls of the Oriental Pearl tower. The Oriental Pearl Tower is a multifunctional body with sight-seeing, restaurant, shopping, entertainment, hotel, radio and TV transmissions. It is now one of the symbolic buildings and tourism resorts in Shanghai, attracting three million visitors each year. View here to learn the conference combined sightseeing schedule. | |
