West Tower | Four Seasons - A city landmark accessible to ordinary people

🏙️🏙️🏙️ "Guangzhou International Finance Centre" (Guangzhou International Finance Centre), commonly known as "Guangzhou IFC", is located in the core area of Zhujiang New Town CBD. Locals like to call it "West Tower", which, together with "East Tower" and Guangzhou Tower, is known as the classic "three-piece suit" of the city skyline. Located at No. 5 Zhujiang West Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, it is a skyscraper located in the central business district of Tianhe. It faces Zhujiang Park to the east, is adjacent to Zhujiang and Guangzhou Tower to the south, is close to Guangzhou Avenue to the west, and overlooks Tianhe Sports Center and Baiyun Mountain to the north. The main tower of the "West Tower" is 440.75 meters high, reaching 449.2 meters with the helicopter pad, with a total of 103 floors above ground and 4 floors underground. The exterior design comes from the British Wilson Eyre Architects, and the architectural design is carried out by the Architectural Design and Research Institute of South China University of Technology. The "transparent crystal" scheme of the giant oblique cross-column tube structure is adopted: with the curved shape and transparent smooth architectural facade, the width gradually changes to form a small head and a large middle, revealing a luxurious and low-key "diamond spindle" unique shape, straight into the sky. In 2017, Guangzhou International Finance Centre received the LEED Platinum Green Building Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Because of its high-end appearance, even many locals do not know that, in fact, the "West Tower" is open for free visits. The "Four Seasons Hotel" rents from the 70th to the 100th floor as hotel rooms and supporting lobby dining and entertainment facilities, continuing the glorious tradition of Guangzhou's five-star hotels since the reform and opening up, not judging people by their region or dress. Ordinary tourists can also take a dedicated elevator directly to the 70th floor hotel lobby, which is a dazzling, imaginative central courtyard with skylight lighting. You can freely visit the lobby, cafe, or continue to take the elevator to the 100th floor restaurant for a visit. Of course, you can also consume, drink coffee, eat, drink afternoon tea and dim sum. 200~300 yuan/person, you can sit from 3 pm to 8 pm, taste the most exquisite dim sum, and enjoy a 360° unobstructed view of Guangzhou's sunset and beautiful night view. The scenery here is no less than that of Guangzhou Tower, and the key is that there are fewer people. Invite three or five friends who have not been in contact for a long time, steal half a day of leisure, avoid the crowd, come to the cloud, and quietly watch the "Four Seasons" of Huacheng, which is also the life attitude of many Guangzhou friends. 💖Practical Guide The "West Tower" is located in the new commercial center of Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town, facing Guangzhou Tower across the river, adjacent to Guangzhou Opera House and Guangdong Provincial Museum, and within walking distance to Huacheng Square and Friendship Department Store. The location is unique. Visit quietly and check in, don't make loud noises, especially don't disturb the guests of the "Four Seasons Hotel", be a civilized and quality person. Coming out of the "West Tower", next to it is the "Huacheng Hui" food square, in addition to Cantonese cuisine, there are flavors from all over the country, and it is also a mass consumption level. 💎West Tower·Guangzhou Four Seasons Hotel Address: No. 5 Zhujiang West Road, Zhujiang New Town, Tianhe District, Guangzhou Ticket: Free Opening hours: 8:00~22:00 Recommended index🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🚦Traffic Guide Subway🚇Line 3 or Line 5——"Zhujiang New Town" station, Exit D Pishi | Locals take you on a deep tour of Guangzhou
