The Oriental Pearl TV Tower Sightseeing Area Brief Introduction 简述包括：位置面积人口；发展历程；景点 Location; Area The Oriental Pearl TV Tower Sightseeing Area belongs to Pudong New Area, which is the milestone of China’s reform and open-up policy. As we know, Huangpu River is the mother river of Shanghai. It divides Shanghai into two parts, the western part and the eastern part. Pudong literally means “east bank of the Huangpu River”. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is the first landmark building erected in Pudong area, so the name of the whole sightseeing area is derived from it.

Ferryboats were the only means for people to cross the Huangpu River. But the east side of Huangpu River has its potentials since it is favorable for harbors and international trade. On April 18th, 1990, the State Council declared the opening and development of Pudong. In 1993, the administration of Pudong New Area was created/set up.
