Guangzhou Circle - A building that cost a billion to build and a hundred thousand to name

✨ In Guangzhou, there is a popular spot similar to the Canton Tower, known as the Guangzhou Circle. If you drive past the Dongxin Expressway or the Ring Expressway, you can see this uniquely shaped and refreshing circular building. From the outside, the Guangzhou Circle looks like a large copper coin, surrounded by a luxurious golden color. With its meticulously designed lighting project, it becomes a dazzling sight at night, visible from afar with its colorful and radiant appearance, which is both intriguing and lovable. ✨ The Guangzhou Circle was designed by Italian Joseph, with a total of 33 floors, a height of 138 meters, an outer diameter of 146.6 meters, and an inner diameter of 47 meters. It once cost 100,000 yuan to solicit a name, and it was finally named Guangzhou Circle Building. It is said that the Guangzhou Circle is the tallest circular building in the world. However, it has also been called the ugliest building by many, saying it looks like a copper coin and is too vulgar. I don't see it that way. Precisely because of its circular shape, I find it very beautiful and distinctive. Especially in Guangzhou, it fits well with the innovative, open, and inclusive spirit of the city. Not to mention, from an aesthetic perspective, its uniqueness and stunning appearance are irreplaceable. 📍 Address: Jinxiu Peninsula Wharf, Nampo, Panyu District, Guangzhou 🚇 Transportation: Take Metro Line 2 to Nanpu Station, then transfer to Bus 311 to Nampo Island Terminal 🎫 Ticket: Free ⏰ Time: Open all day The lighting time is around 7:30, and the lights go off around 10:00, but only the outer ring lights remain after 9:00. It is recommended to arrive before 9:00!

Guangzhou Yuan. This is one famous building in the Guangzhou city shaped like Chinese coin, so it is called by citizens in this way, yuan. I remember several years ago it was even shown on a TV. No doubt, idea is pretty original and I need to say even more, the idea was realised very good. So, now anyone can come and take a look. Actually, Yuan could be spotted from different places in the city, elevated points above the channels. Interesting. #holidayvacation#wintergetaway#staycation#tripinspired#happynewyear
