That's a serious lineup! I'm voting for BOC though.

Who would pick One International Finance Centre over the taller tower?

For me, 1 Peking Road surpasses 2IFC only bit.

So many great towers there. Mine is the Bank of China tower as it was one of the buildings that got me interested in skyscrapers and its design is exceptional.

2IFC, but BOC and Langham are awesome too...

I agree 100% with you. One Peking road is the most beautiful tower in Hong Kong.

The Centre is my favourite - it's the best-lit building in the world and looks beautiful at night.

Have to go for BOC followed by 2IFC then Lippo Centre. But there's so many great ones there.

Who would pick One International Finance Centre over the taller tower?I reckon. Next to 2IFC it looks like a stubby little midget but put stick it into most cities around the world and it would look like a towering giant

My favourite is 2IFC for its eye pleasing design. I also like Lippo Centre, Bank of China and Jardine House. Best night lighting goes to The Center.

1) Bank of China
2) HSBC
3) 2IFC
4) Langham Place
5) Highcliff
6) The Center


In terms of non skyscrapers I like Government House, Murray House, The Peninsula Hotel, and Chep Lap Kok Airport.

This tower is cool, but it was disappeared in the HK island's
skyline since AIG tower was completed.
(We can not see it from TST). This tower is covering/arounding
by BOC, Cheung Kwong & AIG. Oh! so poor!!!
