Well, of course. A lot of people call the Pearl Tower's architecture new and innovative, with a strong Oriental charm. And the observation deck at the top of the tower is the best place to get a bird's eye view of the whole city. But if he's not too interested in modern architecture, you could still go check out Shanghai's old-style buildings. There are the shikumen, the temple of the town god, and so on. Aren't those distinctive?
