Why Travelers Love This
You’ve heard of the Canton Tower’s height—but do you know how it was built, why it stands by the Pearl River, or how its "slim waist" design defies gravity and typhoons? Our tour goes beyond a simple visit. Led by professional, well-trained English-speaking guides, we share fascinating stories and engineering marvels behind this landmark. At sunset, ascend the 433m observation deck to enjoy panoramic views of the Pearl River, historic rooftops, and glowing Baiyun Mountain. Afterward, dine on classic Cantonese dishes at a riverside restaurant with stunning views of the illuminated tower. Then, board a Pearl River cruise from Tianzi Pier with reserved seats on the top deck—the best place to relax and admire the glittering cityscape including Canton Tower and Liede Bridge. Our unhurried pace is perfect for unwinding after business or leisure, and ideal for families or anyone wanting to experience a more peaceful side of Guangzhou.
