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.
Built in 2010 and standing at 600 meters high, it was up to August 2013 the tallest structure in China, when it was surpassed by the Shanghai Tower.
Besides offering some extraordinary views of old and new Guangzhou, there is plenty to keep young and old occupied: Bubble trams that float on the tower's exterior, Mega Drops, glass platforms to name a few.
The Tower itself and its surroundings along the Pearl River are definitely worth a visit, whether during the day or at night.
