Built with eleven steel spheres in various sizes hanging from the blue sky to the green grassland, the body of the tower creates an admirable image, which is described in an ancient Chinese verse as: large and small pearls dropping on a plate of jade.
The tower consists of 6 main parts: 3 gigantic columns，the 1st sphere called bottom ball，the 2nd sphere known as upper ball,the 3rd sphere called space capsule， other 5 small spheres, basement and the square. There is a totally transparent panorama lift between the columns offering a quiet good view of Shanghai. This was the first wholly transparent elevator in the world.
