Bank of China Tower

Vitals
Height: 367.4 metres
Floors: 70
Architect: I.M. Pei

The prism-like façade of the 367.4m Bank of China Tower has become one of Hong Kong skyline’s most recognisable and appreciated features. The work of renowned Chinese–American architect I.M. Pei, the 70-storey building's asymmetrical form is pure geometry and has been compared to a bamboo plant, which extends its trunk successively higher with each new burst of growth. An observation deck on the 43^rd floor provides good views of Central.
