在澳門，巴黎人酒店前的巴黎鐵塔早已不只是地標與觀光景點，長期以來還衍生出一個在網路上廣為流傳的都市現象——俗稱的「守塔隊」。許多遊客只要提到澳門巴黎鐵塔，往往就會想到在塔下活動的這群女性，而「守塔隊」之所以得名，正是因為她們常年在鐵塔下徘徊，專門向過往的男性遊客搭訕、遞卡片、尋求生意。

雖然外界多以女性稱呼，但坊間也流傳另一個說法：並非所有人都是女性，有些人可能是從泰國返來、外貌經過處理的跨性別者，因此網友戲稱要分辨「是王剛還是王芳」，最簡單的方式便是觀察是否有明顯的喉結。這些調侃固然帶有戲謔意味，但也反映出守塔隊成員的背景並非單一群體，而是各式各樣為了生計而聚集在此的人。

守塔隊其實還有另一個別名，更接近她們最初的稱呼——「去去妹」。這個名字源自她們的招攬方式：會主動走向男性，遞上印有聯絡方式的卡片，同時低聲詢問一句「去不去？」藉此碰碰運氣、吸引客人上門。多年以前，「去去妹」主要活動於新葡京與舊葡京賭場附近的地下通道與周邊區域，那裡長期以來是黑市招攬的熱點。但隨著執法力度加強，相關場所被大規模整頓，原先在葡京活動的這些人無法繼續在舊地盤招客，於是逐漸轉移陣地，最終在巴黎人酒店前一帶重新聚集。

巴黎鐵塔本身人潮密集、遊客絡繹不絕，加上開放空間較難完全封鎖，因此成新的「守塔」熱點。日久之後，外地遊客也就逐漸把巴黎鐵塔與這群招客者建立聯想，形成如今網路上常見的「守塔隊」描述。

整體而言，這則「巴黎鐵塔守塔隊」的現象並非正式新聞，而更像是一段在旅遊社群與論壇中流傳多年的都市傳聞與地方見聞，它牽涉旅遊、城市管理、灰色產業生態與網路次文化語彙。即使帶著戲謔色彩，但背後反映出的仍是澳門繁華夜生活與觀光業之外的一角現實。

In Macau, the Parisian Tower at The Parisian Hotel has long been more than just a landmark or tourist attraction; it has also given rise to a well-known urban phenomenon widely discussed online, known as the "Tower Guard Team." Many visitors, when mentioning the Parisian Tower, immediately think of the group of women who gather beneath it. The name “Tower Guard Team” comes from the fact that they are often stationed under the tower, approaching male tourists, handing out cards, and seeking potential clients.

Although commonly referred to as women, there are also stories suggesting that not all members are female. Some may be transgender individuals, including those who have returned from Thailand. Online chatter jokingly raises the question of whether someone is “Wang Gang or Wang Fang,” with the simplest way to tell being the presence of a visible Adam’s apple. While these remarks are humorous, they highlight that the Tower Guard Team is not a homogenous group, but a collection of individuals from various backgrounds, all gathering here to make a living.

The Tower Guard Team is also known by another nickname, "Ququ Girls," which relates to their original method of attracting clients. They would approach men passing by, hand out cards with contact information, and quietly ask, “Are you going?” This casual, direct question served as an invitation to engage. Many years ago, the Ququ Girls primarily operated in the underground areas and surrounding vicinity of the new and old Lisboa casinos, which were hotspots for such solicitation. However, as law enforcement intensified, these locations were heavily regulated, forcing them to relocate. Gradually, the area near the Parisian Tower became their new gathering spot.

The Parisian Tower draws large crowds and constant tourist traffic, and its open spaces are difficult to fully control, making it an ideal location for these activities. Over time, visitors began to associate the tower with these solicitors, giving rise to the online perception of the "Tower Guard Team."

Overall, the phenomenon of the Tower Guard Team at the Parisian Tower is less formal news and more of an urban legend and social observation circulating in travel communities and online forums. It touches on Macau’s tourism, city management, and the gray-area nightlife economy, while also influencing local internet subculture. Though often described humorously, it reflects a facet of Macau’s nightlife and the realities behind the city’s bustling tourist scene.
