Long queues. There are several stages of climbing to the top. Buy tickets in advance, online. If you want to ride in a booth at the peak of the TV tower, you must purchase the most expensive ticket that includes such an opportunity. There's the same queue for the descent. The view is beautiful, everything is fascinating. It's better to watch in the evening, when the city lights up its lights. In addition to the ticket, you need a passport to get through.

The visiting experience is amazing. From the emotional swing of being in bubble tram in pitch-black clouds, to visiting the world's tallest outdoor observation deck with a clearing sky and an opening view of the entire city. I also visited free fall for a special thrill. Very emotional. In any case, it's definitely worth visiting the tower and walking along the evening embankment with a view of the tower! And of course, get tickets at the tripcom! Saving should be economical

A very beautiful tower almost in the center of Guangzhou. Be sure to take a tour, you can buy it on the website, it's easier than standing in line (buy the full package when you're still here). It is better to take a tour in the late afternoon, but not when the sun has set, so you can see the city in the evening light and when all the lights are on + sunset (very beautiful). It's quite windy on the tower, it's better to take a sweatshirt. You can get there on foot (via a pedestrian bridge) by taxi or metro. An elevator with glass doors, if you have a fear of heights, it's probably better not to go. The tower has a rope park, a horizontal Ferris wheel and a free fall attraction. I recommend you to visit.

We had a vacation in Guangzhou in October 2025 It was hot at night, 22 degrees in the afternoon, more than thirty degrees. The Canton Tower is an unforgettable experience, climbing to the top by elevator, over a hundred floors, the observation deck offers a view of the city and the Pearl River, with bridges and boats sailing along it. The night view is an illumination of lights. At the very top, a bubble tram runs in a circle, each cabin is designed for six people, a small queue and you are in the tram, an overview of 10 minutes. Cafes and restaurants with stunning views of Guangzhou are located in the tower on the floors below. The entrance ticket costs around 3000-4000 thousand rubles , the payment is in yuan or dollars , you need a passport with you .

One of the main attractions of Guangzhou and China. The second largest high-rise in the world. The tower itself is 600m high, the highest point for tourists to visit is 488m. It is better to buy tickets for 398 yuan (there are benefits and children's tickets), the ticket also includes attractions: the world's tallest Ferris wheel and the "Spider Walk" — a glass path at a height. In the evening, the light show of the tower begins — the illumination system is controlled by a computer and rotates 360°. There are restrictions for people with high blood pressure and pregnant women to visit. Elevators are fast and silent. There are cafes and souvenir shops at different heights.

We visited Guangzhou last week and decided to visit the TV tower. It should be noted right away that the visits are every 2 hours. We arrived at 4:30 p.m., bought tickets, and had to wait until 6 p.m. for the previous visitors to come out and let us in. The ticket was purchased immediately with the attraction of riding in glass balls on top of the tower in a circle. It's very beautiful, but the whole impression is ruined by huge queues in a tiny space, screams, and stampedes... We didn't even really enjoy the views in such an environment.

The observation deck itself is typical, it's not worth wasting time. But I liked the bubble tram, a Ferris wheel that moves horizontally at the very top of the tower. In the evening, when the whole city is on fire, it's an impressive sight! The queues move quite quickly, tickets were bought promptly at the box office. I recommend it)

By far the main attraction of Guangzhou. Of course, you need to buy tickets with access to the right platform, but whether to ride a circular observation train at an altitude of 500 m, everyone chooses for themselves. It's breathtaking up there! It is also possible to climb to the topmost platform, where only the most desperate thrill seekers go. You can also take a ride on the free fall tower, but there are few people who want to. When visiting the tower, be sure to take your passport with you, the ticket will not be sold without it. Lighters are taken away at the entrance, they are not given away at the exit. There is a cafe in the tower, but everything is very conditional. Beer, juices, sandwiches ... prices are twice as expensive as on earth. And so everything is very cool! The main thing is at the bottom, when you buy tickets, carefully study where you want to get to. The pictures show everything in great detail with prices. Good luck to all! P.S. I almost forgot! It's ideal to go there only in sunny weather, even a slight cloud cover can ruin a visit to the tower, not to mention cloudy or rainy weather... you won't see anything at all!

Great location, beautiful view from above. I highly recommend the tram and the attraction for fans of extreme sports. There are a lot of people, but the queue is moving fast. Get prime-time tickets to see the city in the Light and at sunset with lights.

It's beautiful and high up, but it's difficult to take normal photos on the observation floors, because the illumination and reflections of other photographers interfere. It is best to take photos almost at the very top of the round trolleys that rotate around the tower. But you need to stand in line, take something warm with you, the wind is strong upstairs. And yes, the trolley ride around the tower takes about 20 minutes.

The stunning tower has a lot of shops inside, you can buy souvenirs at a good price. Added: It was in 2024, but did not go up, it went up in 2025, the cost is about 250 per person, with a passport, access to the observation deck left an impression. Indeed, everything is in the palm of your hand. The wait is short, so if you are in the area, I advise you to visit, you will not be unimpressed.

A pleasant place, beautiful, you can walk to the embankment and walk across the bridge. There are many cafes and a shopping center nearby. There are many places where you can sit. In the evening, there are a lot of people trying to sniff something and take pictures, this is the only negative

The metro station is directly under the tower, next to the embankment and pedestrian bridge. The best time to visit is in the evening, when the lights of the tower and skyscrapers turn on.

Guys, we had a great walk here in the middle of October 2025. The tower is the dominant feature of the city and is visible from afar. The illumination at night is also impressive. We recommend it! Although, of course, it's up to you to decide...

Definitely welcome to visit, the city is from a bird's-eye view, very beautiful. The revolving restaurant on the 107th (seemingly) floor deserves special attention - a buffet, a huge selection of various dishes and drinks, eating delicious food at an altitude of 435 meters and enjoying the view of the city is not one, but two pleasures)

The tower is unusual, it looks like a basket stretched for 600 meters, however, like all towers designed by engineer Shukhov, the queues are relatively small, especially if only to the observation deck, without any coils on the roof in the booths. The view from the tower is excellent, although not as impressive as in Shanghai. In general, I highly recommend it. I was at the tower in December 2025

There was fog, very limited visibility, and it was not possible to climb to the top. But overall, it's fun. The view of the city from the lower closed observation deck is 430 m. It is beautiful. It's a sooooo long procedure if you have disposable smokers or lighters with you. They need to be handed over to the luggage room, where they will ask for a passport for registration. I waited there for about 15 minutes. They don't allow you to just throw them away if you've already entered the frame with them.

Great attraction! The elevator is fast and silent, it almost does not bother your ears when lifting) there are a lot of cafes, tuaoets, souvenirs, a photographer works on a special site who takes photos both on your phone and on his camera, so you can select a photo on a laptop and immediately print it, you can buy it immediately in a beautiful frame,as well as in electronic format. Unfortunately, the observation booths that ride in circles around the playground at the very top didn't work, but they looked cool and scary. The entrance to the tower is expensive, of course (about 600 yuan)

A must-visit. The backlight turns on at the end of daylight hours (in early April it was at 19 o'clock). The best view is either from the pedestrian bridge or from the square on the other side of the river (there are a lot of people everywhere)

The view is cool, it's unusual to ride in a booth. But there were wild queues at the top for 2 hours in the strongest cold wind (it was 30 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, they were at the tower at 8 pm) . There are no blankets, no warnings, no protection of any kind. They returned with sinusitis and sore throat

Depending on your wishes, you can rise to any level, prices from 150 yuan. But I think since we've come here, it's worth going upstairs to the covered observation booths (the price is already about $ 50), the movement of the booths is extremely slow, the view is good. The level below has a glass protruding platform for photos. There is also a restaurant in the tower, but we had limited time before departure, we were not there. Of the cons, perhaps, the price

The Canton Tower is just a delight! You go up in a high-speed elevator, and the very ascent is breathtaking. The observation deck at 488 meters feels like you're floating over the whole of Guangzhou. The view is incredible: the city, the river, the skyscrapers... and when it got dark, the tower sparkled with lights — it feels like you're looking at a giant light show. I also took a ride on the Bubble Tram — these panoramic cabins, which ride in a circle at a great height, give special emotions. This is a place where you just want to stand and admire, forgetting about time.

Stunning! From a height of 600 meters, there is a wonderful view of Guangzhou. The tower looks amazing, especially at night. On the 521st floor, you can take photos on the glass floor. The glass floor surprises, fascinates, attracts and at the same time frightens. The second tallest TV tower in the world is worthy of attention upon arrival in Guangzhou!

A VERY interesting place! I recommend it! Especially if you haven't climbed to a height of 100 floors. Amazing view of Guangzhou, there is a coffee shop, souvenir shops, etc. It is better to buy souvenirs on the ground floor (cheaper). You MUST take a foreign passport with you, because you can't buy a ticket without it.

Oh, we really enjoyed riding in the balloon cabins and looking at the city from a bird's-eye view! Tickets were bought on tripcom. It's cheaper and easier for us. There are several viewing platforms. There are two closed ones in the tower itself and the main street one, where the Trumps themselves are making money. The cost was 3,200 per person on 07/29/2026, of course, we were queuing there, but in China they are everywhere. We stood there for 20 minutes.

Out of the blue, create an attraction, and even with a carousel at the very top (prices bite, but it's worth it) with changing lighting, a bunch of chifanek and magvzinchkov, in my opinion, can only be in China. You can arrange a walk from the tower along the Pearl River embankment, through a beautiful pedestrian bridge to the park on the other side. It's crowded in the evenings. More precisely, it is not so, it is more correct to say crowded. But it's worth a walk once. There are plenty of sellers who love our pale-faced brother. But this is not Egypt, after a polite "buyao, sisi", they usually leave.

There are places that tourists must visit, such as the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai and the Canton Tower in Guangzhou. The hyperbaloid design of the tower gives the impression that it is falling. Not many people know that the design corresponds to the 1899 patent of the Russian engineer V. G. Shukhov. There are a couple of cool rides and several restaurants at the top of the tower. It's a great time to visit at sunset, where you can see both the vast beauty of the city and the night lights of Guangzhou. The tower stands on the riverbank and it's really fascinating. I highly recommend spending the evening for this fascinating and beautiful event.

The elevator lifts approximately to a height of 430 m, then you need to overcome a short distance up a steep staircase and you will get to an open area with stunning views, where monorail booths walk around the tower to enjoy the mesmerizing height and an excellent view of the city. I recommend it to everyone. A passport is required to purchase a ticket.

Well, this is a must-have item for a tourist in Guangzhou. Traditionally, you need to climb high-rise buildings by sunset to capture the light / dark time of the day. In the dark, the city decorated with illumination is especially beautiful. I would first walk around the city to understand where this or that object is, what it is called, and then I would observe it from a height to fix it. Upstairs, you can afford a cup of coffee with a view of the beautiful city. There were no problems with passing through and paying in cash. There is an open area upstairs, and even attractions for extreme athletes)))

Canton Tower is an iconic landmark of Guangzhou city. It is located at the metro station of the same name, or rather above it. The best view is from the topmost platform from a height of 488 meters, tickets cost 398 yuan. It offers a wonderful panoramic view of the entire Guangzhou city. There is also an attraction on the upper terrace called the Bubble Tram, which are spheres that ride around the tower at the highest altitude. It costs an additional 180 yuan per person to satisfy the pleasure.. The viewing platforms below, at 428 and 433 meters, have a view of no more than 250 degrees of view and only through glass. Tickets to the tower can be bought freely, there are no queues at the ticket offices. The Chinese usually book in advance via WeChat and pass through the QR code application. Experts recommend climbing the tower in the afternoon. For example, by buying tickets for the time from 16:00 to 18:00. Then you will have the opportunity to look at the city at different times. From the side, the tower is beautifully illuminated at night. The backlight changes frequently.
