Viewpoints in Guangzhou

Canton Tower (广州塔) is a 604-metre supertall structure on the south bank of the Pearl River, making it the tallest tower in China and the fourth-tallest freestanding structure on Earth. Completed in 2010 for the Asian Games, its hyperboloid lattice design by Mark Hemel and Barbara Kuit twists elegantly against the Guangzhou skyline.

Moxing Ridge is the highest accessible point on Baiyun (White Cloud) Mountain, Guangzhou's most beloved natural landmark. From the summit, views extend across the entire Pearl River Delta — a staggering panorama of city, river and distant hills.

The IFC South Terrace on the 67th floor of the Guangzhou International Finance Centre offers open-air panoramic views over the Pearl River bend and the Zhujiang New Town skyline. Unlike the enclosed Canton Tower observation deck, the terrace allows fresh air and unobstructed photography.

The Guangzhou International Finance Center (广州国际金融中心) — known locally as 'West Tower' — rises 440 metres in Zhujiang New Town. Its 99th and 100th-floor observation deck and sky bar offer a premium alternative to Canton Tower, with intimate, less-crowded viewing.
