A futuristic TV tower in Lujiazui, built from 1991 to 1994, which stayed the tallest structure in China until the Shanghai World Financial Center was finished in 2007; its pink spheres have made it Shanghai's best-known landmark. Its top floor stands at 351 m, about 468 m with the antenna, and it has fifteen observation decks, the best known being the large sphere at 263 m, with a transparent glass walkway where visitors step out over the void. At its base is a museum of Shanghai history recreating the old city's streets, shops and carriages, and the decks look across the river to the historic Bund and over the towers of Lujiazui around it. A two-sphere ticket is about CNY 199 and a three-sphere ticket with the top space module about CNY 220, per visitor guides. Queues are long on holidays; just before sunset is the best time.
