TOUR DE CANTON

It is difficult to miss this metal and glass monster since, 600 meters high, it is one of the highest towers in the world, and especially the second highest in China (after Shanghai)! Built by the firm Information Based Architecture (IBA), in association with the engineering firm Arup, this tower is a superb project covering a total area of 114,054 ^m2. The night view of the illuminated tower sums up the city of Canton/Guangzhou as it is today: a giant no longer asleep in which cafés, restaurants, wedding halls and other souvenir shops are enthroned..
