    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.
