The Twin Towers are the landmark buildings in Guangzhou. The super-high Twin Towers will stand behind the public buildings such as Guangzhou Opera House, Guangzhou Library, Guangdong Museum and Guangzhou Children's Palace on the north bank of the Pearl River, allowing people to see a building complex representing Guangzhou's modern and international image from the south bank of the Pearl River to the north.

The regret of the Twin Towers

Guangzhou East Tower and Guangzhou West Tower are two super high-rise buildings. The Twin Towers will stand on the north bank of the Pearl River, behind public buildings such as Guangzhou Opera House, Guangzhou Library, Guangdong Museum and Guangzhou Children's Palace. Form high-rise buildings with different characteristics. People can see the buildings representing Guangzhou's modern international image from the south bank of the Pearl River to the north bank.

With the completion of the Twin Towers in Guangzhou, Guangzhou has lost such a good opportunity to make its urban spatial form unique. Yang Ni, deputy dean of the Architectural Design Institute of South China University of Technology who participated in the design of the West Tower, thinks that the asymmetry between the East Tower and the West Tower on the central axis is a great pity. According to the original plan, the East Tower and the West Tower should be two super-high-rise buildings symmetrical on both sides of Guangzhou's new central axis.

There is no precedent in the world to form symmetrical twin towers on the city axis, but Guangzhou saw this opportunity, but did not seize it. Today's West Tower and East Tower, an arc and a square, are 432 meters and 530 meters respectively. No other symmetrical features can be found except their positions.
