[2025 Guangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for IFC (Guangzhou International Finance Centre) (Updated Apr)

#Mainland China Attractions Guangzhou West Tower, also known as Guangzhou International Financial Center, is located at No. 5 Zhujiang West Road, Zhujiang New Town, Tianhe District, Exit B1 of Zhujiang New Town Metro Station. It is the second tallest skyscraper in Guangzhou, with a total height of 449 meters and 103 floors above ground. The West Tower includes shopping malls, office buildings, hotels and other business formats. The podium building is a traditional department store-style shopping and leisure center (Friendship Shopping Center), which has cosmetics area, women's clothing area, men's clothing area, children's clothing area, etc. It mainly serves high-paid white-collar workers working in Zhujiang New Town and guests who come to Flower City Square for holidays. The mall is not very popular, and it seems that the business model of traditional department stores is gradually failing to keep up with market trends. But it's nice to come in and take a break after being tired of shopping😃😃.

🏙️🏙️🏙️ "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.

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.

You can freely visit the lobby, cafe, or continue to take the elevator to the 100th floor restaurant for a visit.

Impressing

The Guangzhou IFC building is one of the tallest buildings in Guangzhou at 438m and home to the Four Seasons Hotel from floors 69-103 where we were staying. It is the west tower of the "Guangzhou twin towers" The building has observation decks on floors 99 and 100 as well as a restaurant and bar. From the observation deck there is an amazing view of the city and the other nearby skyscrapers like the 530m CTF east tower and the 604 meter canton tower. The views are incredible on both a clear day and lit up with lights at night time, especially the lights on the canton tower. Our hotel suite was on the 90th floor and was incredibly luxurious and offered us this amazing view of the city when the weather cleared up. #passionpassport #guangzhou #urbanexplorer #skyscrapers
