Canton Tower was an amzing experience, at 460m high, the views are exhilirating. The Ferris Wheel is a must! And the view from the Ferris Wheel "bubbles" is breath taking. Lots of photo opps in the bubble.
The 433 m photo booth is scary, you basically stand in toughened glass, and smile! Holy crap my knees were mellowed!
You have to pay for the photos they take for you (souvenir) and they are friendly to take photos with your camera or phone ( not paid)
If you are visiting during the cooler months (November-March) prepare with a wind breaker and warm clothes, just in case.
It is best to book in advance, I used one of the apps, android users can use Trip Advisor, or Kook, and the like, and make sure to book the correct packages, some have the Ferris wheel, but not the outlook, some have the top of the tower without the Ferris Wheel. So make sure to book what you want.
There are souvenir shops, sellers will not push you to purchase, and are very helpful and respectful. There is a small cafe on the way down from the tour (near the 108th floor). I could see there was a mediterranean restaurant, but it was closed at the time of my tour. There was a French restaurant, but I did not try it. And there was another one, but I could not tell what it was or was it good or not.
The visit was professionally done, efficient, and everything was clear.
Guangzhou without Canton Tower would be a mistake. The 1-story shopping mall below is nice, with some interesting shops, especially the Dragon shop. They had lots of cute Dragon statuettes, and other curiousitites.
