Zifeng Tower (Greenland Square Zifeng Tower) stands beside Gulou Square. Completed in 2010, it is about 450 meters tall and is Nanjing's tallest building.

The tower also houses an InterContinental hotel and a high-altitude restaurant. Observation deck tickets cost around 100 yuan. Check the venue for exact prices and opening hours.
