Guangzhou's new TV tower, Canton Tower, named Guangzhou Tower (广州塔) in Chinese, is situated in the city center business area of Guangzhou. Canton Tower has a nickname: Xiao Man’s waist (Xiao Man, a famous geisha in the Tang Dynasty (618AD-907AD), had a very beautiful slender waist ).
Canton Tower, at 610 meters counting the 156 meter antenna that sits atop the 454 meter tower proper (which is the consensus on how to measure the total height of a tower), is currently the world's tallest tower, and given its unique construction, which facilitates "building high", Canton Tower will likely remain the tallest tower for some time, unless someone comes up with a building design that is even more clever than that of Canton Tower (note that Canton Tower is the world's tallest tower, not the world's tallest building... there is a limit to the size of the base of an edifice that can qualify as a tower rather than as a building – to satisfy your curiosity, the world's tallest building is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, standing at 828 meters, including its spire).
