Oriental Pearl Tower

Someone could categorize Shanghai as just another big city with a big population, tall buildings and pollution. Yes, it has all those things, but that only sums up a small fraction of its features. Part of Shanghai’s beauty is derived from the love of architecture that this city carries. After Barcelona, I thought I couldn’t be further “wowed” by crazy architecture.  But Shanghai has infused a whole new view on modern architecture into their city, not to mention the fact that Shanghai holds the 2^nd and 6^th world’s tallest buildings within its city limits.

Here’s an awesome video that Ryan showed me of two guys climbing the 2^nd tallest building in Shanghai. Watch, but continue reading my blog post cause I haven’t even got to the point of this entry yet

 

One building stands out the most out of all, even more mind blowing and eye-catching than the tallest buildings in Shanghai.

 

The Oriental Pearl Tower

 

As you can see, this thing is pretty dang cool. I don’t even have any similes for this building so I’m just going to leave it at this: Shanghai Pearl Tower = Awesome!
