The Canton Tower[Photo/gz.gov.cn]

This is a new landmark in Guangzhou, a must-go scenic spot for tourists, rising 600 meters above sea level, making it the tallest TV tower of the world.

Obviously, it tops the city skyline. The tourist hall at the top gives visitors a panoramic view of a spectacular landscape. You may marvel at its unique, beautiful structure and mind-numbing height, but the locals refer to it as the "small waistline".

The high-speed, double-deck elevators come at 10-minute intervals and fly from bottom to top at a speed of 5-meters per second, getting you to the top in less than a minute and a half. Along the way, you can appreciate the distant view of city landscape through the glass door.

But, the thrill comes once you step into the tourist hall 433 meters up, at the top. This is the tallest point in the city and you may feel as if the sky and clouds are at your fingertip. The 360-degree glass may also shock you with the breathtaking view. And, if you have the courage, you can step into the transparent viewing corridor with a transparent glass floor but you may feel your heart beating and pulse racing when your look all the way down to the bottom.
