Besides the typical few really tall buildings that get a lot of coverage in the forum, there are many other buildings that are crying for attention. Here is a selection of a few buildings that are normally not seen in Hong Kong threads :

Great thread. It is so true, so many buildings in HK are overshadowed by the popular ones. The government building with the sphere on top in Western is awesome!

I really like this one:

Great contrast b/w old and new.

Ill try to add on to the thread soon. For starters, here is one, although the skyscrapers arent exactly the focal point.
