Ride at the top of the world
The Canton tower in Guangzhou is (currently) the 5th tallest structure in the world. You can (after suitable payment) take a lift to a viewing platform and gain access to some amazing views. Fortunately when I went it was a pretty good day – Guangzhou … Continue reading Ride at the top of the world
