Guangzhou TV Tower, Television tower in Guangzhou, China
Guangzhou TV Tower is a 215.8-metre quadrilateral steel lattice mast on Huaguo Hill in Yuexiu District, with a total elevation of 250 metres above sea level. A circular glass-walled observation level was built at 130 metres but has never opened and remains idle.
Construction of the tower began in 1986 and finished in 1991, a period when southern China was undergoing rapid modernization and technological change. Its completion marked the region's growing connection to the wider world through improved telecommunications.
The tower's full name is Guangzhou Municipal Radio and Television Comprehensive Transmission Tower, and it stands on Huaguoshan in Liuhua Subdistrict, Yuexiu District, beside Guangdong TV Tower on Huanshi Middle Road. Its 130-metre circular glass-walled observation level was fitted during construction but never opened: Hong Kong investor Liu Yingfu of Yinli Enterprise Group withdrew funding and the deck has stayed idle since.
The tower stands on Huaguoshan in Liuhua Subdistrict, Yuexiu District, beside Huanshi Middle Road, separated by that road from the Guangdong TV Tower. Its 130-metre observation level, glazed in a circular glass curtain wall, was never opened and remains idle, so there is no viewing floor to visit. The structure is a working broadcast mast, not a sightseeing attraction.
