If you want to be on Cloud-9, then this is The place for you. At 488m, this is the tallest tower in China.
My eyes got attracted to the tower during the day while moving within the city. One cannot just miss the tallest structure in whole of China. The beauty of the structure is the 'twist', for which it is popularly known among locals as 'slim waist'. One should visit the tower twice, once during day, and once at night, as the views and experiences are simply great! Choosing the E-deck (the highest observation point) might pinch one's pocket a little, but you are assured to forget it once you go up.
I had the opportunity to go there only at night though, as I was on a business trip. The approach to the tower from a distance itself threw a wonderful view with its multicoloured lighting. It seems as if a painter has poured all the colours he had on the beauty.
I chose the E-deck package with the Bubble Tram tour. It was drizzling a little, and the tower was playing hide and seek amidst clouds. There are other packages as well to choose from depending on how far to the top one wants to go. One must visit the open air observation deck at the bottom of the tower (A-zone) also as it offers a stunning view of the city skyline across the river.
One disappointing fact is that the revolving restaurant, unlike other ones (I have been to a few including the 360degree at Macao Tower), does not take in guests who walk in. One must make a prior reservation one day in advance.
The experience in the Bubble Tram is unforgettable, especially at night. If you are with family, then the tram ride is highly recommended. Once in a lifetime experience!
