Hong Kong's Glassy Skyscrapers
 

Magical.

Wow!

Hong Kong is glassy!
Langham Place looks awesome as usual. Even though it differs a lot from the other structures in Mong Kong, it somehow fits in.

I can never remember which one is Highcliff, and which one is the Summit. :)

Great compilation, hkskyline.



I wonder if it can be traced back to this building for starting the unfortunate trend in China that is; 'balls on top syndrome'. It's a terrible disease that MUST be addressed.

That's the true essence of HK.

There used to be an observation deck in that ball. I don't think many people knew about it actually. However, it closed since it is now a government-owned building (Chinese government, that is).

:)

This building was completed in 1999.
I doubt that it started the trend. But I agree that the ball on top is not a good idea.

Wow, great compilation, HongKong is ultramodern!

Having two ultra-thin skyscrapers perched on a cliff is both dangerous and Super Awesome!

Some of those towers are just amazing.

Don't the all glass buildings get really hot in the tropical sun?

... hence the abuse of air conditioning. It's very disturbing for a european.

As long as there is reflective glass, the buildings won't be heat traps. However, since it gets quite warm for most of the year, air-conditioning is a standard feature (but not heating).
