Gillick's World Explores China: Hunan, Guangdong and Guanxi | Page 24

When the elevator doors opened on the 107th floor of the Canton Tower we
immediately spotted the bright orange Bubble Tram; a ride that affords spectacular
views of the city of Guangzhou, 428 meters below. However, our focus turned to the
sign that cautioned: “Psychotics and alcoholics are not allowed on the Bubble Tram”.
I like to think that this, along with the fact that we still wanted to visit the 112 th floor
observation deck, accounted for our not taking the tram.
But we got our fill of heights and sites while in Guangdong Province, which sits on
China’s mainland next to Hong Kong and Macau. Aside from the Canton Tower, we
gawked at super tall buildings, climbed Mount Danxia in the north, and stood on the
watchtowers of Kaiping Diaolou in the South.
