Beautiful shots guys! Thx :cheers: Quite a vibrant skyline IMO.

It's an extremely elegant building. Thanks for the updates.

Guangzhou is such a beautiful place, still under development though.

This city is getting better. It has many beautiful buildings, structures and bridges. Gosh, it is definitely a city of the world in near future.:cheers:

Yep, Guangzhou is looking better every year! It's becoming a very exciting skyline to watch evolve and these new towers are just amazing! Love the mountains in that last photo ... just a great backdrop to the city. Great photos guys:cheers:

It's interesting to see the big blocks of "old China" shantytown still surviving in GZ's construction boom. In the past decades many of these were replaced by government housing and now the private sector is making huge changes to the cityscape.

Well finally they just realized that there were few of them and now they want to preserve them!

fantastic panorama of Guangzhou...inside the picture=the city its full with many skyscraper at everywhere..

great pics of gz:banana:there's also about half a dozen 200m+ scrapers and countless highrises in the west part of the city

12 years ago, guangzhou skyline maybe the first in mianland china, but now, shanghai obviously ahead, and chongqing closely behind. guangzhou need these kind of supertowers.

Guangzhou is amazing, I have passed by in the train, but I have never been, damn shame.

Are there any observation decks in Tianhe to capture some of the posted shots?

I noticed in the backround of the one picture that the Guanzhou tv and observation tower is almost done! I hadn't any idea that it was nearly topped-out. The city is becoming quite a landmark indeed. Even with the design change, I can't wait to watch the Guanzhou East tower rise in a couple of years!

I don't mind GZ behide the speed of development compare to Shanghai or Chongqing cousins. As long as they have a careful planning, that is matter the most. So far, they're doing a good job.:)

Oh god this tower has such a nice fascade...
Its clear dark blue glas i just love it
Guangzhou is a great city

Any new updates?

guangzhou is building some very cool towers now. i hope they will start the construction of the east tower soon!

How much of the building will be a atrium. Will there be a hotel on the top like with the Jin Mao in Shanghai?

69-100 fl will be four seasons hotel

http://bbs.home.news.cn/upfiles/04261ADE.002C


It's interior structure looks like Jinmao of Shanghai. I like the idea of the suspension stair.

Those stairs are very daring and not for those with a weak heart!!! :eek:

what escalators are u talking about ?

Awesome, it will be very Jin Mao esque

I haven't seen the atrium for a while. And the suspension stairs is an awesome idea! :applause:

great updates!
the atrium is vcool

Holy shit...

good idea with that stair hanging off the top of the atrium

what escalators are u talking about ?

Ooops! I meant the stairs.

Great news.I hope i can have the chance to watch this building in the coming year.

nice atrium with the stairs.
will the stairs be glass?!

Really? Why don't you show us the view of these tower from your window? It would be great! (I don't know if you already have).

What a great news.Guangzhou will have a completely new future.

The steps of the staircase will be made of glass.

i thought he was kidding until i went back up and noticed glass panels sitting on top of those slats between the railing. that thing is so ridiculously epic that it made me laugh. :nuts:

Nice, I can see my home building in the pic

is there a big hole into the tower?? :eek2::eek2:

is there a big hole into the tower?? :eek2::eek2:

i think so, and i can't understand it :nuts:

That's for the atrium I think.

The atrium seemed to have taken up a lotta space. The floor space around it seems so small! Is this why it went up so quickly? Where's the elevator!?

i think so, and i can't understand it :nuts:

Too wasteful!

the hole / atrium is only at the top, where the hotel will occupy

dude i think its amazgin why all the negative comments :S

yeh, its the atrium, and has an escalator hanging at the top of it.

That's quite a tower. It's so tall I start wondering why it doesn't scrape the clouds, actually...

gives first impression of cylinder aquirium

marvelous! looks exactly like the renders!

Can't wait for the whole CBD to finish, it will be one of the most enjoyable CBDs to walk through, i think this is an almost perfect CBD that Gz has under construction, very nice

Possibly my favorite tower in China, trumps the SWFC imo.

It is a super tower!

How long will they take (more or less) to complete the interiors?

looks way better than i first expected

Absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see how the whole business district looks in a few more years. Right now it's a bit of a mess with all the construction. Guangzhou CBD could rival Shanghai's Luijiazui area.

The veiw from the top is nice, but I still don't like the tower.

^^go away, troll.

come one let him express his opinions without negative feedback :ohno:

^^go away, troll. How is that trolling they like the view. They don't have to like the building. Quit blasting people.

amazing tower. its shape is beautiful

i love that tel. number

Excuse me?! I'm just posting my opinion, not every comment is going to be positive!

yeah... but the comment would be posisitve if this were built in ur oh so wonderful usa... For you its more about location rather than liking the building.

Excuse me?! I'm just posting my opinion, not every comment is going to be positive!

A constructive opinion with arguments would be better accepted positive or not, it's better to explain why you don't like this building to avoid mental reservations and to be suspect.

This building is a gem. I can see there are number of great projects going on in this city. Five year from now, I think this city is among to top destinations to travel to.:cheers:

yeah... but the comment would be posisitve if this were built in ur oh so wonderful usa... For you its more about location rather than liking the building.

What kind of crappy statement is that! I haven't liked this building from the beginning, because it dosen't look like the renders!

A constructive opinion with arguments would be better accepted positive or not, it's better to explain why you don't like this building to avoid mental reservations and to be suspect.

I already HAVE! A number of pages back, but everyone ganged up on me, so I don't feel compelled to say why I don't like it anymore.

What kind of crappy statement is that! I haven't liked this building from the beginning, because it dosen't look like the renders!You're kind of contradictory aren't you? At the beginning it couldn't have looked like the renders, because the construction had just begun...
Besides, to me it looks like it turned out exactly like the renderings.

Not at the beginning, but quite some time ago. Like when the building was half way up. And no it doesn’t look like the render at all, the cladding is not mirror-like

What kind of crappy statement is that! I haven't liked this building from the beginning, because it dosen't look like the renders!

hhaha so u never liked this building since the beginning because it dont look like the renders?? so when it just started ofc it didnt look like the render... and u called my statement a crappy one...

And what I was saying was that... If this were built in NY or Chicago or w/e wud u still dislike this building? i dont think so :)

anyways... lets stop this discussion because itll take up another 3 pages of this thread just arguments of Onn vs the rest. Onn is never gonna change his mind so just ignore him... the propaganda got a lil too far into his head :)

Let just agree to disagreement. Don't keep drag on like this. There are people only see what they want to see. Further discussion is pointless.:cheers:

The West Tower looks done, it'll soon be time to start on the East building.

umm is onn the one that argues all the time?

why isnt he banned yet?

Externally its nearly complete. But I'll bet they've hardly done any interior work. This one probably has another year to be completely finished.

For some reason GZ's Zhujiang New Town looks very sci-fi to me

What are you talking about?

Externally its nearly complete. But I'll bet they'll hardly done any interior work. This one probably has another year to be completely finished.

Yeah, it's not like ICC where occupancy follows up right after construction. It's very inefficient to wait for the whole building to be complete and then occupy it.

nice!!! looks finished from the outside, only the heli pad.
Im very durious how this will look at night :)







btw, Onn should not be banned... just needs to stfu sometimes.

nobody will ban Onn...and now come back to topic please!

I think dis is the first time i seen a building being reffered to as 'cute' :P

This one could have used a more iconic crown.

Celestial tower :)

One of the most beautiful towers ever!

I love this tower so much!

what's that funky building at the base of the West Tower?

I don't why I thought this was much taller. With so many 2000 foot tall buildings. I just thought this was close. Its still a amazing building

great friggin building!

I don't why I thought this was much taller. With so many 2000 foot tall buildings. I just thought this was close. Its still a amazing building

:ohno:

There are exactly two 2000 foot building as of today. Three if you count masts.

Amazing tower :drool:

:ohno:

Actually, there is only one 2000+ foot building, and that's BD. The Guangzhou TV tower doesn't count because it's a tower, not a skyscraper.

But if you want to count all structures, there are a bunch of 2000+ ft. guyed masts in the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_structures

very nice building! love it!

Beautyfull. Looks like a snake.

Probably one of the best facades I have ever seen. I also like the round corners. Looks very classy. So far a 9/10.

cool project-with second tower and tv tower in the middle it would be great skyline

it's the second children palace of GUANGZHOU

it is the place for child's extracurricular activies.

This one could have used a more iconic crown.

Nah - less is more. In a world over-filled with skyscraper bling, this is pure 'essence of tower' distilled and refined to a beautiful elegant result.

wow nice!!!

It's interesting that Asian amateur photographers always list the cameras & setting used. It's either a software stamp, or a regional habit :D

really nice photo

I was in GUANGZHOU a few months ago and this is the best looking tower in the city

Wow! China is really building some amazing towers these days...

The bridge over the water looks nice now, with that paint job.

How do I get there by metro?

How do I get there by metro?

where? west tower or the bridge?

How do I get there by metro?



if you want to go to the west tower ,take the metro to Zhujiang New Town Station. go out for Exit A1,not Exit A2.

if you want to go to the TV tower, take the metro to Chigang Pagoda Station. go out for Exit A too ,and you will stand beneath the TV tower:lol:


two stations on line 3 also

I'm going to Guangzhou this sunday for the Canton Fair and I wanna visit this tower and the TV Tower :)

Is it easy to go to the Great Wall from Guangzhou or Shanghai? I mean... is it near those cities?

LOVE it!

They are not very close. The Great Wall is near Beijing. You have to take the plane or express train to go to Beijing first, from either Guangzhou or Shanghai. Shanghai is halfway closer than Guangzhou.

Uh lol not really, couple of thousand kilometers :)

So I wont go :(

Maybe for the next time, If I go to China again in the future -It is too expensive to go there-

guangzhou to beijing by plane that's 1910km costing 2.5-3hours, and by train is 2240km costing 20-24 hours

not nearly!
guangzhou to beijing: 2450KM
guangzhou to shanghai: 1780km
shanghai to beijing :1650km


you must spend 2 hours by plane from guangzhou to beijing , use almost 1hours From The capital airport to beijing downtown by airport express and spend 1~2 hours by GREATWALL EXPRESS TRAIN from beijing downtown to the Greatwall。

guangzhou to beijing by plane that's 1910km costing 2.5-3hours, and by train is 2240km costing 20-24 hours



en !!by train will cost 20h45mins:)

if the guangzhou to beijing highspeed railway has been put into use. it can save 12 hours on the journey..but that is thing of 2012

So I wont go :(

Maybe for the next time, If I go to China again in the future -It is too expensive to go there-

haha! welcome to guangzhou and Canton fair .

if you go to guangzhou next year again,that will a big change of the city

I would have had the crown of the building look more rounded off as it does look quite abrupt. Is that a helipad on top because it doesn't really work at that angle, wish it could have been more central on the top... But saying that, I cannot deny this is a gorgeous tower!

yeah its a heli pad. And I guess its put to the side so that there is still a lot of sunlight that can go into the atrium.

I like this one more than the SWFC methinks.

I'll take the sheer size of SWFC over West Tower. But both are fantastic.

I agree, the platform should not be visible. Beautyful tower though. :)

The last angle looks interesting, strange environment.

love this building. it is very sleek.

Yes. But only since they are all in such a huge country. Because in terms of supertalls per city there is only one winner... :)

Nevertheless, if these towers could form a skyline, it would probably be the best one ever. Too bad, then as a tourist, to see all of China's supertalls, you would probably have to travel 10000km.

^^
It is true these cities spread across vast distances. I don't think three months vacation would cover everything. There are so many sites seeing in China. Anyway, here are 10 fastest development cities in China. Guess what, Guangzhou is standing #4. Not bad.
