Canton Tower

If you’re in Guangzhou, you can’t miss Canton Tower—it’s the city’s most iconic landmark. Standing at 600 meters, it’s one of the tallest towers in the world, but it’s not just about the height. The observation decks offer stunning views, and if you’re feeling brave, try the glass-floored walkway or the Sky Drop ride.

It's quite exciting and worth the money.

5/5
Worth going up, very quick in lift. Waiting to go in the lifts up near the top was more of a hassle. Have enough time to look out at Guangzhou. Bubble Car was worth it being 450 metres and looking over the edge (very safe). Not happy with the photos the staff take as this was extremely expensive and even if you wanted to buy one photo (88RMB) it was only a digital copy!!! Best take your own for free in my humble opinion.

It's natural to spend money when traveling, but considering the local prices, the prices aren't attractive.

Everything was great, but don't go on holidays or weekends, otherwise it's very crowded. Tickets were exchanged quickly, and the service was very convenient. I recommend it.
