Shanghai is the largest city of the People's Republic of China and the ninth largest in the world. The famous landmark is the Oriental Pearl TV Tower (东方明珠塔). At 468 m (1,535 feet) high, it is the tallest tower in Asia, and the third tallest tower in the world.
Far behind me (a bit hazy) from the Bund (stretch of embanked riverfront in Shanghai) is the Oriental Pearl TV tower.
