Getting started

Head directly to Canton Tower and proceed through the entrance security checks.

What to expect

Canton Tower Guangzhou

Canton Tower is one of Guangzhou's key landmarks and houses several observation decks at different heights for city and river views. Your visit typically lasts 2 to 4 hours, giving you time to experience your chosen deck and any included zones at your own pace.

Features

• With immediate access and official partner tickets, you go straight to the entrance procedures reserved for pre-booked visitors and then up via high-speed elevators to the observation decks. The ticket collection required is clearly indicated on your voucher so you know whether to pick up physical tickets at the venue before heading inside.

• Entry to Canton Tower observation decks is included with your ticket, giving you access to indoor or open-air viewing levels depending on your selection. Access to observation decks (depending on ticket type) is clearly defined, so you know in advance which floors and zones are part of your experience.

• If you select the 488-meter Open-Air Summit Deck Access, you visit the world's highest open-air observation deck for a viewpoint higher than any other in Guangzhou. This option includes the world's highest open-air observation deck access together with access to observation decks on the way up.

• If you choose the 450-meter Outdoor Lookout Deck Access, you step outside onto the 450-meter outdoor lookout deck for unobstructed 360° skyline views. This 450-meter open-air outdoor lookout deck access also includes access to observation decks at lower levels, so you can compare perspectives.

• Selecting the 433-meter Indoor Starry Sky Deck Access gives you entry to an indoor observatory with glass-floor viewing areas. This indoor observatory with glass-floor viewing areas lets you look straight down while staying sheltered, making it a practical choice in rain or strong sun.

• As you move between decks, you can see the Pearl River, the Guangzhou city skyline, and the surrounding urban districts through large glass panels or from open-air platforms. The tower is engineered to withstand typhoons up to level 12 and earthquakes of intensity 7, which supports a stable experience even at higher levels.

• Some ticket types may include access to amusement rides such as the Bubble Tram or Sky Drop, adding a ride component at height. Access to amusement rides (depending on ticket type, e.g., Bubble Tram, Sky Drop) is subject to age, height, or health restrictions that are checked on site before boarding.

• Beyond the observation decks, Canton Tower is also home to separate experiences such as the Bubble Tram, Sky Drop, Science Exploration Hall, and Wax Museum. These are not included in this observation deck experience.

Wrapping up

Different variants let you match your visit to your comfort level and the weather, from the 488-meter Open-Air Summit Deck Access to the 450-meter Outdoor Lookout Deck Access and the 433-meter Indoor Starry Sky Deck Access. Worry-free cancellation applies across these options, so you can adjust your plans if needed before making your way back down and exiting the tower.
