Guangdong TV Tower, Television tower in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, China.
The 604-meter Canton Tower stands with a twisted design formed by rotating ellipses, creating a hyperboloid structure with a distinctive narrow section in the middle.
The tower opened on September 30, 2010, just before the 16th Asian Games, and briefly held the title of tallest tower in the world before Tokyo Skytree.
The tower's design combines engineering principles from Russian architect Vladimir Shukhov with contemporary Dutch architectural concepts, representing modern Chinese development.
Visitors can access multiple observation decks, including one at 449 meters, plus restaurants and exhibition spaces spread across different levels of the tower.
The structure features a 180-meter open-air skywalk where visitors climb the exterior while taking in views of the Pearl River and Guangzhou skyline.
