Canton Tower rises at the meeting point of Guangzhou's new central axis and the Pearl River scenic axis, facing Haixinsha, Huacheng Square and the Zhujiang New Town CBD. Its twisting, open steel structure forms a graceful waist and changes character from every angle, blending engineering with art. The tower offers observation decks and signature attractions including the 488M Look Out, Sky Drop, Spider Walk and Bubble Tram, as well as revolving dining. Lighting up at night beside the river, it became a defining symbol of Guangzhou during the 2010 Asian Games and remains one of the city's most popular landmarks.
