China International Center, Modern skyscraper in Guangzhou, China
China International Center is a modern skyscraper in Guangzhou rising 62 floors with glass facades that reflect sunlight across the urban landscape. The building houses numerous offices and connects directly to public transportation networks.
Work on the site began in June 1995, and the first phase was topped out structurally in February 1999. The office tower itself started construction in July 2004 and was delivered for use in 2007, with a total floor area of 120,000 square metres. The complex comprises twin towers A and B, of 26 and 63 storeys, and at 269 m it was once Guangzhou's third-tallest building.
The tower symbolizes Guangzhou's shift from a traditional trading port to a modern business hub serving international markets. Visitors can see this transformation reflected in how contemporary office buildings now define the city's skyline.
The building is centrally located with direct connections to public transportation, making it easy to access from various parts of the city. The best time to visit is during the day when you can fully observe the glass facades and how they reflect the surrounding environment.
The complex actually consists of two towers: Tower A with 26 floors and Tower B with 63 floors, joined at a total height of 269 m. Tower B was once the third-tallest building in Guangzhou. Floors B1 to 9 hold a shopping mall, while offices occupy floors 10 to 26 and up to 63.
