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.

I've been seeing many Shanghai pics for the last 3 years and I find this skyscraper rather an eyesore to the Pudong skyline.

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

Tall and slim, but rather dull.

The area around the base is nice though.

Not bad but Hong Kong has way better skycrapers. Its certainly not a vanity project for the HSBC but still a respectable 6.5!

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

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.
