概览
东方明珠广播电视塔位于浦东陆家嘴，1991 年动工、1994 年建成，高 468 米，建成时是亚洲第一、世界第三高塔。塔身将 11 个大小不一的球体串联于三根擎天立柱之间，取意「大珠小珠落玉盘」，是新上海的标志。它与外滩万国建筑群隔江对话，互为风景。[1]
历史沿革
二十世纪八十年代，上海为改善广播电视覆盖与浦江两岸景观，决定在陆家嘴兴建高塔；方案从众多竞标设计中选出华东建筑设计院的「东方明珠」造型。1995 年 5 月塔正式对外开放，塔内的上海城市历史发展陈列馆同步开放。建成以来，它已接待来自全球的数千万游客。[1]
看点
263 米主观光层 360 度环视浦江两岸；259 米全透明悬空观光廊玻璃地面直悬脚下，考验胆量；351 米太空舱为最高点；267 米旋转餐厅可边用餐边看城市流转。塔座的城市历史发展陈列馆以场景复原老上海街巷；入夜后塔身灯光秀与对岸外滩交相辉映。[1]
参观贴士
地铁 2 号线、14 号线陆家嘴站下车步行可达。建议晴天傍晚登塔，一次收获日景、落日与夜景；网上购票多含观光层与陈列馆组合，留意预约时段。悬空观光廊风大，着装需注意；塔下环形天桥是拍摄陆家嘴「三件套」的好机位。节假日登塔排队较长，务必按预约时段提前到场。[1]
Overview
In Lujiazui, Pudong, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower rose between 1991 and 1994 to a height of 468 meters — then the tallest in Asia and third tallest in the world. Eleven spheres of varying size are strung along its shaft on three giant columns, evoking the poetic image of 'pearls large and small falling on a jade plate.' It remains the emblem of new Shanghai.
Conceived in the 1980s to improve broadcast coverage and crown the river's new skyline, the design by the East China Architectural Design Institute won a competitive selection; the tower opened to the public in May 1995 together with the Shanghai History Museum in its base. The main observation deck at 263 meters gives a 360-degree panorama; the glass-floored skywalk at 259 meters hangs sheer over the void; the Space Capsule tops out at 351 meters; and a revolving restaurant turns at 267 meters.
Walk from Lujiazui Station on subway Line 2 or 14. Ascend on a clear late afternoon to catch daylight, sunset, and the night view in one visit; online tickets bundle decks and the history museum — watch your time slot. The skywalk is breezy, and the circular footbridge below the tower is the best spot to photograph the Lujiazui 'big three.'
