With the consideration of the location and historical role of the tower, the designer chose to connect 15 spheres of different sizes with pillars as the main tower body. In September 1988, a total of 12 designs were submitted and evaluated, and the "Oriental Pearl" design from East China Architectural Design Institute was finally chosen. In May 1988, three top design institutes in China were invited to participate in a design contest for the TV tower. In January 1988, the Shanghai Radio and Television Bureau submitted a feasibility report for the TV tower and got approved in July. In January 1987, the report was approved. In October 1986, the report was finalized and submitted to the National Planning Commission, with the building height initially set at 450 metres (1,480 ft). On August 23, 1984, the Shanghai Radio and Television Bureau officially made the site selection report. After repeated investigation and research, the site location was finalized to between Lujiazui and Pudong Park, with the consideration of echoing with the Bund on the other side of Huangpu River. Later in 1984, the proposal was approved. On March 25, 1984, the proposal of building the new TV tower is officially made in the Congress report. On November 17 of the same year, a clear thought of building a TV tower of approximately 400 metres (1,300 ft) high around Lujiazui area was presented in "The Sixth Five-Year Plan and Seventh Five-Year Plan for the Development of Shanghai's Radio and Television Industry and the Vision for the Next Ten Years." On August 25, 1983, the idea of building a new TV tower was first brought up in a broadcast considering the overwhelming situation of the existing TV transmission tower at that time. Construction began on July 30, 1991, and the tower was completed on October 1, 1994, and put into use on May 1, 1995. Its principal designers were Jiang Huan Chen, Lin Benlin, and Zhang Xiulin. Its location at the tip of Lujiazui in the Pudong New Area by the side of Huangpu River, opposite The Bund, makes it a distinct landmark in the area. The Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower ( simplified Chinese: 东方明珠电视塔 traditional Chinese: 東方明珠電視塔 pinyin: Dōngfāng Míngzhū diànshì tǎ Shanghainese: Tonfån Mintsythah) is a TV tower in Shanghai. ![]()
