Canton Tower: Officially Off My List. Terrible Experience!
-
Yeah, it was a really long walk.
-
It's like that everywhere when it's crowded. 'Can't even squeeze into the subway station,' 'drivers overcharging like crazy,' and 'getting home exhausted after 10 PM' – these aren't issues specific to the Canton Tower. You don't have to like the Canton Tower, but I don't think your reasons are fair. It's like experiencing Shanghai on a 5,000 RMB/month budget with its packed subways and fast food, versus experiencing the glamorous 'Magic City' Shanghai on a 500,000 RMB/month budget.

That makes sense.
-
Is the Ferris wheel worth riding?
-
Honestly, you might as well go to Happy Valley. The tickets to go up here cost a fortune, several hundred RMB!
-
Would it be any better on a weekday?
-
But there's really not much to see up there, unless you don't mind spending over 200 RMB just to watch the sunset.
-
Just go back to delivering your takeaways, mate.
-
What's that supposed to mean?
-
I went around the same time last night, and there was basically no queue; we got to the platform in 30 minutes. But honestly, it was a real letdown. Trying to get good night photos is pretty much impossible – every view is obstructed by pillars or the Ferris wheel cars. The experience doesn't even come close to the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai.

And the management is worlds apart. Both are landmark TV towers, but one's heavenly and the other... well, not.

No way, it's not fun at all.
