Canton Tower
What are the best times to go up to the observation deck to avoid crowds and get great views?
Answered by intotravelchina | August 04,2025 15:24
Early morning or late afternoon are good times. There are usually fewer people then, and you can enjoy stunning views of the city during sunrise or sunset.
