## About Canton Tower

Canton Tower is a world-renowned observation tower. Its form is balanced at both ends, with a slender, graceful waist that has earned it the nickname "Slim Waist" (Xiao Manyao). It is one of Guangzhou's most important landmarks. Sightseeing highlights include the Baiyun Starry Sky observation hall, the science exhibition hall and the 488-metre photography observation deck. Thrill rides include a high-altitude horizontal Ferris wheel and "Extreme Cloud Descent" (Jisu Yunxiao), a vertical drop ride.
