It's hard not to notice this tower in Shanghai. The Pearl Tower, which is located in the Pudong area, dominates the landscape. You can see it from the Bund, which is an area right across the river from the Tower that stretches for about a mile long. Another way of seeing it is from the Grand Hyatt Hotel, just the way I did it. You have an option of having a cocktail at the lobby of the hotel, or looking through a not so good window that will give enough exposure of the Tower, which I did. I spent about a week in there, because my father had a liver transplant at one of the hospitals. Between the hospital and the short term apartment where my mother stayed, I got some chances to see the beauty of the city,their culture, their stores ... and also their very delicious Shanghainese cuisine. |
