Talk:Canton Tower

Floor Count
I don't think that its floor count really is 37 (excluding the 2 basement floors); it contradicts to the other floor counts of the other similar towers such as CN Tower, with 147 floors, and Ostankino Tower, with 120 floors (equivalent). It is ridiculous to see a shorter tower having more floors than a taller tower. You might wanna take my suggestion; it's up to you. Thanks. Aymdaman777 (talk) 20:31, 29 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Guys, I fixed the problem, the actual floor count is 112 floors, not 37. 45.9.8.131 (talk) 23:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Deleted unnecessary sentence under section "The Twist"
Hiya, guys. I like to leave a comment on the Talk Page of all articles I edit, just to explain myself. Today, I deleted the first sentence in the section called "The Twist". That sentence read "The idea of the tower's design is simple." I deleted this not just due to NPOV, but because of its unnecessary nature- if the 'idea' (poor wording, to start with...maybe "The tower's design is simplistic," but that'd still be unnecessary) behind the tower's design is so simple, readers will note this themselves. NPOV still plays a part here, nonetheless. If the person who first added this sentence could find reliable source stating that the idea behind the tower was simple (which I sincerely doubt) maybe it'd be more permissible. But, as such? It is an unnecessary opinion, and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Cheers. "Yes... It's Raining " 21:25, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Height in the comparative drawing
Is the comparative drawing inaccurate ? Because it clearly shows the roof height of the tower to be taller than 459.2m. Indeed, the diagram shows it to have a higher roof than the Tokyo Sky Tower ?

I hope they don't count the spire/antenna in the total height. That's just such a cheap means of scamming your way to 2,001 feet. Typical of the Guangzhou mindset. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.246.45.199 (talk) 09:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

The Japanese out scammed the Chinese with their Tokyo Sky Tower and its enormous spire.

Ferris wheel on top?
I watched the National Geographic feature on this structure, and it was mentioned towards the end of the show that a ferris wheel is also planned to be installed on the top of the structure. What is interesting is the ferris wheel is not a "standing" structure, but a slanted one. But no mention of that is made in this article, so not sure if the plan will still push through.

Move to Canton Tower
According to http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90776/90882/7154391.html and the 2010 asian games official website http://www.gz2010.cn/10/0930/09/6HQOEBFE0078008O.html, the tower now has the official name Canton Tower. The page should be moved accordingly.Melop (talk) 03:20, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

GZ's New Television Tower Named Canton Tower. It is an offical document--Coekon (talk) 02:04, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * agreeing with Melop's move . I found a 100% reliable resource to show that its offical name should be Canton Tower as well.

Observation tower?
Is it a observation tower as the header states? The infobox says it has 108 floors, and that would mean it is a building. 85.217.36.71 (talk) 05:22, 30 May 2012 (UTC)


 * There reads: The rooftop has an outdoor public observatory 488 m (1,601 ft) above the ground But, as a user noted above, infobox has the roof height as 459,2 m while the image "Tallest_towers_in_the_world.PNG" seems to have that 488 m, actually. Is the lower number old information or what? Something is not right, that's for sure. 82.141.93.49 (talk) 13:08, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
