Second, the origin of the name
The Chinese name is "Guang Zhouta". Most TV towers in the world are named after geographical names, and Guangzhou TV Tower also needs to be named after geographical names, because overseas survey data show that among pure foreigners, their knowledge of China cities is mainly Beijing and Shanghai, but they are not familiar with Guangzhou, and they often don't know where Guangzhou is in China. Therefore, the naming of Guangzhou TV Tower is not only a naming problem, but also an element to spread the concept of "Guangzhou" to the whole world.
The English name is "Guang Zhouta". The English name "Guang Zhouta" is not used because the name "Guangzhou" is unfamiliar in the western context and its pronunciation is awkward.
More importantly, in the history of China's opening to the outside world, as the origin and starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, Guangzhou's English name has always been "Canton". Canton refers to both Guangzhou and Guangdong, and Cantonese, Cantonese and Cantonese are all Canton in English.
