Oriental Pearl Wallpapers

The Oriental Pearl Tower is a TV tower in Shanghai. Its location at the tip of Lujiazui in the Pudong New Area by the side of Huangpu River, opposite The Bund, makes it a distinct landmark in the area. Its principal designers were Jiang Huan Chen, Lin Benlin, and Zhang Xiulin. Construction began in 1991, and the tower was completed in 1994. At 468 m (1,536 feet) high, it was the tallest structure in China from 1994–2007, when the Shanghai World Financial Center surpassed it. It is classified as an AAAAA scenic area by the China National Tourism Administration. The tower is brightly lit in different LED sequences at night. On 7 July 2007, Oriental Pearl Tower was host to the Chinese Live Earth concert. The Oriental Pearl Tower features 11 spheres, big and small. Along the length of the tower, the two most significant spheres have diameters of 50 m (164 ft) for the lower and 45 m (148 ft) for the upper. They are linked by three columns, each 9 m (30 ft) in diameter. The highest sphere is 14 m (46 ft) in diameter. The entire tower is supported by three enormous columns that start underground.

The Oriental Pearl Tower has fifteen observatory levels. The highest (known as the Space Module) is at 351 m (1148 ft). The lower levels are at 263 m (863 ft) (Sightseeing Floor) and 90 m (295 ft). There is a revolving restaurant at the 267 m (876 ft) level. The project also contains exhibition facilities and a small shopping center. There is also a 20-room hotel called the Space Hotel between the two large spheres. The upper observation platform has an outside area with a 1.5-inch glass floor.

Visitors travel up and down the Oriental Pearl Tower in double-decker elevators that can hold up to fifty people at the rate of seven meters per second. The elevator attendants recite an introduction to the TV Tower in English and Chinese during the rapid 1/4-mile ascent. Once you reach your destination, you will be amazed at the various activities available as the different spheres and columns house places of interest, commerce, and recreation.

Amazingly, this ultra-modern Oriental Pearl TV Tower combines ancient concepts such as the spherical pearls with 21st Century technology, commerce, recreation, educational and conference facilities. It is a TV and radio tower that services the city with more than nine television channels and upwards of ten FM radio channels. Indeed, 'oriental pearl' is the most suitable name for it.
