Affectionately known as the "Slender Waist" for its graceful silhouette, Canton Tower, or Guangzhou New TV Tower, is located at an intersection of Guangzhou New City Central Axis and Pearl River. With a total floor area of 114,054 square meters, the main structure reaches a height of 454 meters, topped by a 146-meter antenna mast that brings its total height to 600 meters. This engineering marvel holds two Guinness World Records: for the world's highest Look Out (488m) and the world's highest thrill ride, the "Sky Drop" vertical free-fall.

Engineering Excellence

The tower incorporates special-grade seismic design to withstand magnitude 7.8 earthquakes and Category 12 typhoons. Its streamlined twisting structure reduces wind forces, while a robust steel lattice core offers strong support. In addition, a tuned liquid damper system effectively counteracts swaying motion. 

Must-Visit Experiences

The 488m Look Out, situated atop the tower's antenna mast, is the highest point accessible to the public. From this unparalleled vantage point, visitors can enjoy breathtaking, unobstructed 360-degree panoramic views of Guangzhou, taking in the city's vast expanse from a truly commanding height.

Positioned at a breathtaking elevation between 455 and 485 meters on the antenna mast, the "Sky Drop" vertical free-fall offers a heart-pounding experience. It features two distinct modes: the traditional "Sitting Drop" and the more intense, free-fall simulation of the "Standing Drop," making it the ultimate choice for a high-altitude adrenaline challenge.

Known as a guest favorite, Bubble Tram features 16 fully transparent spherical cabins that glide smoothly along a track. Each cabin accommodates up to 6 guests for a 20-minute revolution, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

Located at 428 meters and 433 meters respectively, the Cloud Observation Deck and Star Observation Deck immerse visitors in the ambiance of a bright sky with white clouds and a starry night. Each deck features a Glass Skywalk constructed with fully transparent tempered glass. These thrilling walkways are a perfect spot for photos, offering a dizzying perspective of the cityscape far below.
