About Canton Tower

Canton Tower narrows in the middle and then widens again, as if its steel lines had been twisted. From the riverbank it already merits a stop; inside, the visit brings together observation decks and attractions.

Compare what each ticket includes and watch the visibility: clouds can hide the panorama. Save the ascent or the riverfront walk for the shift between afternoon and evening, leaving room for lines and transfers.
