Which observation deck is more recommended, the Oriental Pearl Tower or the Shanghai Tower?

The "Top of Shanghai" observation deck at the Shanghai Tower is more highly recommended. At 546 meters, it offers 360-degree panoramic views of Shanghai and its surroundings, with modern features like glass floors and AR interactive experiences. The Oriental Pearl Tower appeals to those seeking nostalgia, but its views are more limited and it tends to be more crowded. The Shanghai Tower’s ticket (180 RMB) provides better value for money, and it even has a weather and view index to help visitors choose the optimal observation time.
