6/10
SteelCity32 November 14th, 2003, 11:18 PM it's ok, not the best I've seen. 5.5/10
New Jack City November 15th, 2003, 12:13 AM 5/10...Don't like the variety of facade nor the top. The 3rd picture made me boost it some points since it looks decent there.
Wu-Gambino November 15th, 2003, 03:45 AM 6/10
AtlanticaC5 November 15th, 2003, 11:40 AM 6.5/10...actually, I think it's quite OK.
RafflesCity November 17th, 2003, 03:09 AM 7/10
It could have been much better. Dont really fancy the colours.
Falcaonet November 21st, 2003, 06:54 PM 7/10 discrete and i like it
renell November 22nd, 2003, 11:28 PM 7.5/10 simple and sleek. i find this one interesting

baqthier November 28th, 2003, 01:45 AM I've been seeing many Shanghai pics for the last 3 years and I find this skyscraper rather an eyesore to the Pudong skyline.
5.5/10
Sniper December 11th, 2003, 12:54 AM 8/10. There's nothing special there, but it's not depressive.
MCC December 13th, 2003, 12:43 AM 8/10 Original.
Wisma December 19th, 2003, 09:14 PM 6/10
The top spoils it all. :bleep:
james2390 January 3rd, 2004, 09:02 AM i like this one, 8.5/10
luis January 7th, 2004, 03:23 AM 8/10
DamienK February 13th, 2004, 09:24 PM Nice curved domed top and facade. 8.5/10
Jasonhouse February 29th, 2004, 08:26 PM Refreshingly "western" in style, compared to the cartoonish towers elsewhere in the Pudong skyline.
But it's also a little boring, and certainly isn't breaking any new ground stylistically speaking.
7.0/10

This landscape is great!
The Messiah March 5th, 2004, 11:01 AM It's pretty avarage 7.0/10
ryanr April 3rd, 2004, 01:50 PM Not bad...its quite boring and generic though. The buildings next to it have better designs...7/10
Winus July 21st, 2004, 08:10 PM 6.5 but that's because I'm in a good mood.
empersouf November 4th, 2004, 12:42 PM Nice. 8.0
Monkey November 13th, 2004, 12:17 AM Tall and slim, but rather dull.
The area around the base is nice though.
6.5
Tri-City Guy December 6th, 2004, 04:06 AM Not bad but Hong Kong has way better skycrapers. Its certainly not a vanity project for the HSBC but still a respectable 6.5!
Chibcha2k December 6th, 2004, 05:29 AM i would espect more from a corporation like HSBC...just look at their masterpieces in London or Hong Kong...let's hope they put up to the other citie's standards...and do an awesome tower in Shanghai.
anyways it's not a so bad tower...8/10
TYW March 8th, 2005, 09:32 AM nice facade. i think the top looks better with a pyramid

Well HSBC didn't build it - they bought naming rights in 2000, two years after it was completed - it was previously called "Shanghai Sen Mao International Building".
Anyway 7/10
Not as good as the others around it. I remember the gold one (Jin(g) Yin Mansion aka Golden Plaza) featured in The Amazing Race - contestants had to clean one of the windows.
Phobos May 9th, 2005, 11:27 PM 7/10
It's not very original...

Scruffy88 January 3rd, 2006, 02:57 AM 7.0 Its not a bad design but who chose brown on darker brown. The vertical midstripe doesn't help but i like the corner vertical accents
Moren-o February 4th, 2006, 06:36 PM simple, symmetrical, good facade-materials.
Nice top as well
8/10
