I've seen both the distant and night views of Canton Tower before, but today I finally arrived at the foot of the tower. During the May Day holiday, Canton Tower was bustling with visitors. Although I didn't go up the tower, seeing its grandeur up close was impressive. Nearby, the newly built Tower Square shopping mall is spacious and beautiful, and it houses one of my favorite bookstores, "Fangsuo." From there, I took a leisurely walk to the K11 shopping mall, where I enjoyed viewing the art pieces displayed inside while also doing some shopping. Finally, I arrived at Flower City Square, where I once again admired the Canton Tower and visited the Guangzhou Library. A delightful half-day tour passed by quickly. 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: Outdoor and indoor 📍 Address: Near Chigang Tower, Haizhu District, Guangzhou 💰 Average Cost: Free

🤗 New discovery! Canton Tower Plaza has a new 🆕 landmark. 📸 Don't just keep taking photos from the angle in picture 2. Just walk a few steps south of Canton Tower Plaza for a surprise, like in picture 3. 📍 You can take great photos on a waterfront platform upstairs in Canton Tower Plaza. If you stand on the steps in picture 4 at night, you can take amazing photos. 🏡 Also, under the waterfront platform, I found a newly opened Hunan restaurant - Lao Ma Que. 😋 It mainly serves healthy and fresh Hunan cuisine, and carefully selects organic ingredients for healthier and more assured eating. It can perfectly solve the contradiction that Guangzhou people want to eat spicy food but are afraid of it. 🖼️ The interior decoration of the store is also very artistic, and you can take great photos anywhere. In addition, the surroundings of their store are also very light and luxurious. I really want to take it all home.

The Canton Tower Plaza finally opened on December 28! This means we have another great place to visit! The Canton Tower Plaza is located next to the Canton Tower. Standing in the square, you can look up and see the towering tower. Isn't it cool? The Internet says it is a fashion landmark positioned as an "international luxury shopping mall," but after walking around the mall, it feels very ordinary, nothing amazing, just a very ordinary mall. However, it is worth mentioning that there are some angles to take pictures of the Canton Tower that are quite nice! Taking pictures of the Canton Tower from the square above, the view is wide and the photos are great! You can come and visit when you have time!
