Which skyscraper in Guangzhou is also called the East Tower?

The story behind the answer

Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre is also called the East Tower.

The skyscraper stands in Guangzhou’s Tianhe District and was completed in 2016. It forms one half of the city’s pair of landmark supertall towers, with Guangzhou International Finance Center, known as the West Tower, on the opposite side of the central axis.

Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, the East Tower contains offices, apartments, a hotel, and retail space. Its façade uses a gradually changing arrangement of glazed surfaces and structural columns, helping the building accommodate different uses at different heights.

The tower is often confused with Canton Tower, which is a separate telecommunications and observation structure. Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre is a skyscraper with mixed-use interiors, while Canton Tower is primarily a broadcasting and visitor attraction.
