Canton Tower turns into it's mesmerizing best at night. The beautifully colored tower speaks so much of the city. Makes the night pearl river cruise even more memorable by giving my favorite paris-eiffel-tower-connection to the cruise. Make sure you take the cruise at night to enjoy this beauty at it's best.

The ticket prices are ridiculous. Once you get to the top floors there really isn't even much to do. At the top, when I went at least, there were 2 observation decks which would have had decent views if the air wasn't so dirty. There are viewpoint stations that take 10rmb to work but once they turn on they don't... More

Was looking forward to the view at the top. However, it was a cloudy day, and with the mist and smog, the views were not fantastic. However, it was really mind over matter, to walk towards the end of the glass enclosure which have a glass bottom that you can look all the way down to ground floor. Thus it... More

Loved being up so high...it was smoggy, so hard to see far. We could see where the Asian games were held. We could see the river and other waterways. We went to the very top and rode on the orange bubble cars...awesome!

Really enjoyed the experience! Definitely go for sunset/in the evening to get great views of the city lights. It's awesome being up that high and the tower is very impressive. Send a postcard (6.5CNY) from the Cloud Observation floor. The Tower alone is 150CNY. 298CNY for the Tower and Bubble Tram - I highly recommend this combo. The tram is... More

Well worth a visit on a clear day, with some nice restaurants underneath. Paid extra to do the bubble ride on top which was great. Would definately go again. Only negative is they tried to make us leave bags, wallets and purses with staff before going up. Can understand security, but we only left non valuables in the lockers.

If just one thing, the city of Quangzhou is bustling with optimistic energy. The is most apparent in two of its most popular tourist destinations, the Canton Tower and the river cruise. We visited the Canton tower on a clear day and were impressed. The tower is HIGH and the views are wonderful. From the top the skies were not... More

To get a sense of Guangzhou's size, there's no better place to go. It is a little pricey (I'm glad I was taking a family of 6), but the views are phenomenal and the lift ride's a buzz. I went up when it was a little hazy. On a sunny day, it would be just brilliant.

Would definitely recommend coming here for the beautiful views of the city and viewing the fourth tallest building in the world (tallest in China)! We came here at night, and the night lights and cityscape were absolutely lovely to see! If you don't want to spend an arm & leg on a meal, I would recommend eating elsewhere and then... More
