Canton Tower

The Canton Tower, or Guangzhou Tower (simplified Chinese: 广州塔; traditional Chinese: 廣州塔), officially the Guangzhou TV Astronomical and Sightseeing Tower (Chinese: 广州电视台天文及观光塔), is a 595.7 metres (1,954 ft) tall multi-purpose observation tower in the Haizhu District of Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. The tower was finished in 2009 and it was first turned on 29 September 2010 for the 2010 Asian Games.

The tower held the title of tallest tower in the world, replacing the CN Tower. It was then passed by the Tokyo Skytree. It was the tallest structure in China before the Shanghai Tower was completed on 3 August 2013. It is now the second tallest tower in China and the fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the world.

The Canton Tower is the tallest TV tower in the world and the 3rd tallest building in Asia. Many people love to start their day in front of the tower by participating in one of the Tai Chi groups.

For an exciting trip, visit the Canton Tower, it has the world’s highest horizontal ferris wheel, the highest outdoor observation deck, and the highest free fall Sky Drop.

There are two photo opportunities for the glass bottom walkways, one on the Star and the other on the Cloud observation decks

A must see. One of the most spectacular towers in the world at night. Well, in the day, too. It's just not lit up then. Highest tower in the world. It's not a building.
