Guangdong International Building

Guangdong International Building, Modern architecture skyscraper in central Guangzhou, China

Guangdong International Building is a modern skyscraper in central Guangzhou that rises prominently above the surrounding area with 63 floors above ground and three levels below. The structure houses office spaces, hotel facilities, and commercial areas integrated throughout its design.

Construction began in 1987 and the tower was completed in 1990, designed by Rong Baisheng of the Guangdong Provincial Architectural Design and Research Institute. At 200.18 m it was Guangzhou's first 200-metre skyscraper and one of the tallest buildings in China at the time. It was financed by the Guangdong International Trust and Investment Corporation (GITIC); after GITIC's 1998 bankruptcy the tower was auctioned, selling for 1.13 billion yuan in January 2007.

Locals call the tower "63 Floors" (63层), a name taken from its 63-storey main block. The building also hosts three consulates general: the Philippines in rooms 706–712 of the main tower, Laos in room 1103, and Zambia in room 505 of the podium. The five-star Guangdong International Hotel opened inside it in July 1992.

The building sits on Huanshi Road East and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors can explore public areas, but should check in advance which sections are open to tourists and visitors.

The nickname "63 Storeys" (63层) comes from the tower's 63 above-ground floors, and locals use it as a shorthand for the whole complex. Three consulates operate inside: the Philippines in rooms 706–712 of the main tower, Laos in room 1103, and Zambia in room 505 of the podium.
