Скачать или смотреть VR roller coasters, skywalks: foreign tourists flock to Shanghai's icons during Labor Day holiday

On the first day of the 5-day Labour Day holiday, Shanghai’s iconic Oriental Pearl Tower was packed with visitors, especially foreign tourists who had long dreamed of seeing the landmark in person.

For many, it was the first stop on their Shanghai adventure.

Visitors climbed up to the 259-meter glass skywalk for panoramic views of the city, then headed to the 95-meter level for a high-speed VR roller coaster. Laura from Spain, in town for just 24 hours, was excited at the experience.

In early 2024, the tower hosted over 64,000 foreign tourists, up 89% year-on-year, with most from South Korea, Russia and Southeast Asia. Multilingual signs and audio guides now help guests feel at home.

Tourists can also stop at Yuyuan Garden in the old town of Shanghai. The garden is an iconic example of traditional Chinese garden architecture and a popular destination for visitors.

Yuyuan ‘s Nine-Turn Bridge also a must-see. Built during the Qing Dynasty, its zigzag path symbolizes good fortune.
