A curious mixture of tackiness and class. Much much better than the Pengnian Plaza (also in this section) which I hate.

Pengui April 28th, 2005, 02:15 PM Difficult to rate this one with so few photographs...
The side pictured looks pretty good. The stick at the top is way too tall. And I've my doubts on another side of the building, but well, can't see.
Let's say 6.5

Scruffy88 January 5th, 2006, 07:22 AM From straight on it looks good. from any angles it drops in looks. The sides of the crown looks weird with this tannish peachish color. And im sure the 791 feet go to the top of the unnecessary scaffolding like spire. Cheaters. It looks bad with that.
6.5/10

The architects will need 20-30 more years of studying and hard work before they can design well.

vibrantray74 June 11th, 2007, 06:20 AM It may seem eye-catching for you the first time you'll see it! But the more you looked at it, the more you'll find it a bit dull specially the circular top composing the spires with red painted roof top! But anyhow, I like the colour shades of the facade. It looks elegant. I always see this tower over and over again whenever I go shopping downtown. And this building really stands out here in Qingdao.

Nothing wrong with it, per se. But I feel like in almost any other major Chinese city, this tower wouldn't stand out.
