The Canton Tower is one of the most recognizable features of the constantly-changing Guangzhou skyline

The Canton Tower is one of the most recognizable features of the constantly-changing Guangzhou skyline. Known as the “slim-waist” among the locals for its marvelous twisting structure, it has quickly become the icon of the city.


The tower is built in a very unique style. People also call the tower with a nick name “Xiao Man Yao” which means young girl with a tight waist. So the building is very attractive in its outlook. It looks like as if it’s moving ad alive. Formerly it was called Guangzhou TV and Sightseeing Tower.
The top of the tower has the most amazing and exciting entertainment for the visitors. The visitors while enjoying the panoramic view over the city can also enjoy a ride in the World’s highest Ferris wheel.  This amazing wheel consists of 16 pods holding a total of 96 fearless passengers. It is built on the 450 meter high canton tower and is one of the most attractive features of the tower.
Another key attraction of the canton tower is the Gravity machine. At the 450 meters high top deck level there is gravity machine that lifts the visitors another 35 meters up along the pole from where they will be dropped back again to the top of the deck. This can be the most spectacular experience of one’s life of falling back to earth from an exciting 485 meter.
