Canton Tower, at the intersection of
the Guangzhou new
central axle and the Pearl River landscape axis, faces the Haixinsha
Asian Games Park, Huacheng Square and the Pearl River New City CBD across the
river. With its unique design, Canton Tower combines strength and art perfectly. The
concrete core tube is the axis. The outer barrel-shaped steel structure consists of
two ovals with the small one up and
the large one down. The centers of the circle are crossed
and rotate 135 degrees counterclockwise. Therefore the “slim waist” in the
middle of the tower is formed. The outer barrel steel structure has a total of 24 steel
columns and 46 steel rings.
With twisted elliptical
spiral shape, hollowed and open structure, it creates a series of
"world records" in architecture:
Such as the world's highest outdoor viewing platform -
Canton Tower
488-meter
observation desk;
The world's highest thrilling journey - Canton Tower
Sky Drop;
The world's longest sky stairs -skywalk;
The world's highest revolving restaurant - the
424-meter-high 106-story Mediterranean buffet revolving restaurant;
The world's highest horizontal Ferris wheel – a
horizontal Ferris wheel on the outskirts of the 450-meter open observation desk;
The world's highest post office.
As one of the “New Eight Attractions of Yangcheng”, Canton Tower
shoulders the historical mission of inheriting Guangzhou’s historical and
cultural heritage of more than 2,000 years and spreading the development model of
the international metropolis, and has become a new landmark in the city.
