NYU sponsors a few trips here and there, one of them including a trip to the Oriental Pearl Tower.
The Pearl Tower is 468 meters high, making it the third tallest TV and radio tower. Unfortunately, I forgot exactly which floors consist of what, but we were at the highest viewing deck for a quick 360degree view of Shanghai (think Seoul Tower, Taipei 101, or Top of the Rock viewing decks, same idea), then headed down a few flights to the glass floor, outdoor viewing deck. It was a bit frightening walking around knowing that you can see everything below you. Chloe and another one of our friends Jae were trying to do handstands on the glass floor. Needless to say, we were quite the spectacle amongst the Chinese crowd.
Afterwards, we just wandered around a few of the other floors, went on the roller coaster, and made our way down to the museum.

Tickets to get in are around 160RMB which includes admission into the Shanghai Municipal History Museum, one free roller coaster ride, and obviously access to all viewing decks.
