MoreThe Guangzhou Tower is a landmark of Guangzhou. Including the transmitting antenna, the tower is 600 meters high. It is one of the famous high towers in China. You can overlook the beautiful scenery of Guangzhou from top to bottom. Its head and tail are equal, and its waist is exquisite and slender, so it is also known as the "little waist". It will be lit up at night. Even if you don't visit the tower, you can come here to take pictures of the exterior as a souvenir.
From bottom to top, the Guangzhou Tower is divided into five functional areas, namely A and E. The base of the tower, namely Area A, is used to introduce Guangzhou's history, culture, economy and tourist attractions, and is equipped with supporting tourism service facilities. The crown of the tower, namely Area E, is equipped with Dining, entertainment functions and a viewing platform.
The entertainment projects of Guangzhou Tower include the high-altitude horizontal Ferris wheel, Alpha Discovery Park, the vertical rappelling extreme project "Extreme Speed Sky" and the sky cinema.

It is recommended to arrive at the TV Tower at 3:30, then queue up for security check and buy tickets. In this way, you can usually reach the top of the TV Tower at 4:30-5:00, and then you can watch the sunset of Guangzhou, and then enjoy and shoot the night view. With this itinerary, you can basically see the panoramic view of Guangzhou during the day, evening, and night, which is quite comprehensive. If you go to the TV Tower in summer, due to the different lengths of day and night (the night view in summer is later), you can postpone it by two hours, and 7-8 pm is when there are fewer people in the TV Tower, so it will be more comfortable to avoid the crowd.

i have been looking forward to visiting this tower for 6 months, saw it during the day in its vastness then came back at night and it is even better. simply stunningthat can't quite be said for the tower facilities, went to twist resturant for dinner and felt underwhelming, especially for the price (that also is sepperate cost to tower entry)at night the viewing platforms have so much glare and reflections it is quite difficult to get good photos from up top, best bet is to go during the day if you want photosvalue for money i'm a bit in the fence, if you visit guangzhou you have to at least see the tower at night even if you don't go inside

When you come to Guangzhou Tower, you must take the Ferris wheel with your baby! A cloudy Sunday afternoon came, there were not many people, no need to queue. Sitting on the Ferris wheel to see the Qiujiang River, watching the high-rise buildings in Guangzhou is like a happy small world. There is also a first floor to see the Guangzhou Cultural Exhibition, there are awake lions, etc., and Guangzhou Trust and Buy!
