The biggest but not the best in H.K.

Much better than The Centre IMO.. I like how the cladding is partially gold and blue... Gives it a refined look..

Although this shape is a little over used because it kinda looks like the Centre i must say.. But still its cool

9.5/10

6/10 I like the inside of the tower more than the outside. I don't like the decoration.

9.5/10

Central Plaza is my favorite Hong Kong building and one of my favorite buildings of all time.

Central Plaza is a great name for a building. I came to Hong Kong in December 2001. Strangely, when I was at the base looking up, it didn't seem very tall. And looking at it from downtown Kowloon at dusk, it doesn't seem that tall either. Hard to believe it's 374 m. After looking at the dreadful Chinese apartment highrises along the path from the airport to downtown, Central Plaza looked spectacular.

It's one of the very few buildings that I actually like the spire. Without the pyramid and the spire on top, it wouldn't look to appealing to me.

Very appropriately named, Central Plaza fits snuggly in the center, completing the skyline as the tallest building. Without it (and BoC), Hong Kong skyline is not as nearly impressive.

The spire and top in general are interesting features. I like the facade because it's shiny and impressive. It reminds me a lot of the Centre, also in Hong Kong.
