The Guangzhou Tower is a tower building that belongs to the national AAAA-level tourist attraction, with a height of 600 meters. The main tower height is 454 meters, and the antenna mast height is 146 meters. Its appearance is beautiful, with a connected head and tail and a slender waist, which is why it is called the "little waist". Especially at night, when the lights are on, it is very beautiful. Even if you don't visit the interior attractions, you can come here to take pictures of the exterior. There are also some viewing and photography themed attractions in the tower, such as the Ferris wheel, Zhujiang Photography Viewing Platform, and Spider-Man Plank Road, etc. If you want to watch the sunset and night scenery, you can generally reach the top of the TV tower around 4:30 pm to 5 pm and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Shamian Island has always been an important commercial port in Guangzhou. After over a century of historical accumulation, it became an important channel for domestic and foreign trade during the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. However, after the Opium War, it was designated as the British and French concession. This place is a microcosm of our modern history and concession history. European-style buildings such as the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Shamian Christ Church, customs office, British Snowy factory, HSBC Bank, etc. have unique features showcased here. The whole island is like a small European town, with many coffee shops, churches, restaurants, and bars, making it a great place for taking photos.
