Okay. (I'm ready for the Chinese title.)
-
Wukang Road is free.
-
I didn't go [to the Oriental Pearl], but I fell into another tourist trap: taking the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel under the Huangpu River.
-
Another tourist trap is eating pork chop noodles at the underground food court on Nanjing East Road. With so much amazing food in Shanghai, I can't believe I ended up choosing that.
-
You'll regret it for a lifetime if you don't visit the Oriental Pearl Tower, but you'll regret it for eight lifetimes if you do.
-
You're afraid you'll regret not going, but you'll genuinely regret it once you do.
-
Shanghai's biggest tourist trap—the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel! Don't ask why, just don't go.
-
Oh, really? Thank goodness I haven't been to either that or the Oriental Pearl Tower...
-
Most Shanghai locals haven't even been there.
-
Didn't you go during school trips in the spring or autumn when you were a kid?
-
I've never been up the Oriental Pearl Tower, but I have been up the Canton Tower, hahaha. It's so true—tourism is basically just visiting places that other people are tired of living in for a few days.
-
I'd rather visit the Yellow Crane Tower or Leifeng Pagoda. I just have no desire to go up the Oriental Pearl Tower.
-
I'd suggest going when it's less crowded. This is purely one of those 'you won't be satisfied until you've done it, and then you'll be utterly disappointed' kind of attractions.
-
Yep, I knew it wouldn't be fun even before I went. But after going once, I really knew just how un-fun it was.
-
One should be curious about everything. Simply having gone and experienced it makes it worthwhile. Don't always fixate on whether it's 'cost-effective' or feel regretful. If that's your attitude, then don't bother going anywhere—just stay home. You could stroll through a field, pull some weeds, and after a few days, you'd actually have something to show for it.
