Guangzhou Walk

• Guangzhou Walk

Guangzhou has a population of over 13 million people is the fourth largest city in China, behind Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin.

Guangzhou - the largest commercial city of China, is sold absolutely everything from toothpicks to women. It is impossible to find a product that would not have been here to buy. Canton Fair is the largest in the world in terms of turnover. The town is different from other similar cities in China, it is just different, with its own mood, his emotions.

In this new business, cultural and tourist center of Guangzhou is located just a few attractions that should be on the list of "must see" any tourist: the skyscraper IFC's, Concert Complex Opera House, Guangdong Museum, unusual, modern building the city library, park and Pearl river embankment. It offers a superb view of the Tower Canton Tower, which is located on the opposite bank. Best time to visit - this evening, although day urban beauty does not look worse.

Modern buildings - is the first thing that catches your eye, while in the central part of the city. Architecture amazes and surprises, makes you wonder about many things. In Guangzhou, I lived in a very nice hotel located just five minutes from the central pedestrian zone. These two luxury buildings I saw, coming on his first outing.

On the facade design is virtually impossible to determine the functionality of these buildings.

This museum Guangdong. It is free and is open until 17:00. building spectacularly highlighted at night.

Some have architectural solutions make the city attractive to tourists. This is a must see.

And this is the city library.

The multi-storey complex, partially open, even at night.

Elegant design and geometry. I'm beginning to understand the meaning of patriotism, with regards to the residents of the city. They have something to be proud of.

That's just the entrance to the clock sector.

Specific terms also well designed and eye always have something to cling to. Scale is felt, but can not say that the presses. Rather, it sets the mood.

The tower was built for the Asian Games in 2010 and for some time remained the highest in the world, and today it is the second line (now the tallest tower in the world - in Tokyo). Height Canton Tower - 610 meters (with a 160-meter steeple). At the 105th and 106th floors of restaurants, which offers a beautiful view of the city. The main observation platforms are higher - 107-m, 111-m and 112-m floors (c open area at the top). Someone who is not afraid of heights, can take a walk in the open air on a spiral staircase from the 33rd to the 65th floor (attraction Spider Walk), to admire the panorama of the city from the trailer Bubble Tram or to experience free fall Mega Drop on the top of the tower.

Go ahead and see the Opera House. Yes, yes, it's Opera. One can have different opinions on the same design, but standing next to, you know that before you do something amazing!

Even the boat on the bottom left, you can see.

The feeling of extraterrestrial intelligence is present in the air.

Sculptures in Guangzhou interesting place.

Children's Center.

The underground space is used as much as possible. Parking, Megamall everywhere and no multi-annual debate with archaeologists and other prospectors. The city should be for the people!

The airport is very close, and planes fly very low. Sometimes interesting to watch.

Walkup is probably the most pleasant of all, on which I have ever been. It's quiet and relaxing music, and a variety of coatings, and greens, and navigation, and many more details. Super!

The only thing distracting from the overall number of buildings - the building of the Agricultural Bank of China.

103-storey IFC International Financial Center, which is also called Guangzhou West Tower, - one of the main symbols of the city today. Now in front of him is building: soon there will be a sibling twin skyscraper - East Tower. On the 74 th to the 98 th floor of the building occupies IFC Four Seasons hotel. On the 100th floor is a restaurant, and on the 99th floor - Tian Bar. Both places can boast impressive views of the city.

The height of the IFC - 438 meters. This is one of the tallest skyscrapers:

Number 11 in the world;

Number 8 in Asia;

№ 5 in China;

Number 1 in Guangzhou.

At the entrance of IFC established here such an unusual and very beautiful sculpture.

Even the design of the cafe pleasing to the eye. Well everything!

A lot of monuments set fire. Why? I honestly do not know.

Pedestrian connection thoroughly thought through and very enjoyable.

The transitions are equipped with both stairs and escalators and elevators.

service is available only for electric cars.

Descent to the Mall of the world and the metro.

Ecodesign walking zone. The silence in the heart of the metropolis.

In a pond inhabited by fish, and in the evenings include artificial croaking frogs.

A simple, beautiful and ergonomic urn.

Pedestrian navigation. Struck metal high traffic signs for the blind.

When in Nizhny Novgorod opened flyover above the street - it is regarded almost as an event of planetary scale. All Guangzhou features and underground and overground passage totally!
