Canton Tower formerly
known as Guangzhou TV Astronomical and Sightseeing
Tower and also known as Guangzhou Tower is a 600-metre (1,969 ft) tall multi-purpose
observation tower in the Haizhu District of Guangzhou (historically known as Canton or Kwangchow), Guangdong,
China. The tower was topped out in 2009 and it
became operational on 29 September 2010 for the 2010 Asian Games. The tower briefly held the title of tallest
tower in the world, replacing the CN Tower, before being surpassed by the Tokyo
Skytree. It was the tallest structure in
China prior to the topping
out of Shanghai Tower on 3 August 2013. It is now the
third tallest tower and the fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the world.
