The Pop Land carnival tour runs at the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai through 1 November 2026. The tower, one of the city’s best-known landmarks, is hosting a Labubu-themed adventure with nine interactive games and a Pop Bakery pop-up.
The venue is also known as the Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower. Its location in Pudong places the temporary attraction across the Huangpu River from the Bund, linking a contemporary character event with one of Shanghai’s established skyline landmarks.
Pop Land carnival runs at the tower until 1 November
The Shanghai stop of the Pop Land carnival tour began on 31 August 2026 and continues through 1 November 2026. An official Shanghai government events guide lists the Oriental Pearl Tower as one of its two venues, alongside Shanghai No 1 Department Store.
At the tower, visitors can enter a carnival area beside the building and try nine interactive games. A limited-time Pop Bakery pop-up offers character-themed treats, while the wider adventure follows Labubu through a treasure-map story. Shanghai’s official event guide gives the date and tower venue together.
The event is presented as a public visitor attraction, rather than a closed ceremony. The available city information says that the carnival games require a ticket, but it does not establish a general admission arrangement for every part of the tower.
How the carnival fits the Shanghai tower
The tower rises 468 metres above Pudong and was inaugurated on 1 October 1994. It stands opposite the Bund across the Huangpu River, giving the Pop Land installation a setting among the high-rise landmarks of Lujiazui. Tower facts from Otis record its height, completion year and continuing role as a radio and television tower.
The building combines broadcast infrastructure with visitor levels and public attractions. That makes the carnival’s placement beside the tower more than a generic city pop-up: the nine-game area uses the landmark’s public forecourt while the tower remains the fixed reference point for the temporary programme. A separate city report also places the Pop Land tour at the tower and records its closing date as 1 November 2026. Regional event details confirm the two Shanghai venues.
What the temporary programme adds to Pudong
The installation gives visitors a specific reason to include the tower’s outdoor surroundings during the final days of October and the first day of November. Its format combines interactive play, character merchandise and themed food around a landmark normally associated with views, broadcasting and the city’s changing skyline.
For travellers, the date matters because the Pop Land element is temporary. The listed programme ends on 1 November 2026, so the carnival should not be treated as a permanent feature of the Oriental Pearl Tower or as a year-round attraction.
