Pshaw! Your feeble Sydney Tower has nothing on the magnificent Oriental Pearl Tower, a communications tower in Pudong, a suburb of the beautiful, commerically frisky, success-story city called Shanghai.
It's the tallest tower in Asia, and the third tallest in the world. The first (now the second) tallest tower is a tower for hosers, though. I don't know anybody that would want to go up there, eh?
In fact, if you think about it, the Pearl Tower is the tallest tower in Asia - and Asia is the biggest continent in the world, so, really, the Pearl Tower is the biggest tower in the world. Basically.
It's 468 m tall, which towers over the puny 309 m Sydney Tower. Why even bother making a tower that small? Am I right?
The Pearl Tower has three observation levels, including one of those revolving restaurants. Revolving restaurants are sweet because you can face backwards to the direction of revolution, move your feet and appear to be moonwalking to people outside.
Well, people that happen to be over 400 meters up. And looking through the windows.
